To elaborate a bit on my previous blunder, you have to alias the
*glob*.
The way I had it the first time would have just made a local @ary with
one element containing the array reference, which it pretty useless for
what I was proposing. Assigning the ref to a glob makes the glob's
appropriate subsection another name for the thing the reference points
to.
Apologies, and as penance I'll do 40 Hail Mary's and elaborated
examples for those who ask, but in the meantime I'll shut up. >:o]
