I don't agree. If you mean "the last index" (plus or minus whatever)
use $#array, if you mean the number of items use scalar(@array).
Even though it's very very unlikely that you will ever encounter a
situation when
$#array != scalar(@array) - 1
you should still not confuse the two. IMHO of course.
Of course this is just a matter of personal taste :-)
Like the fact that I tend to use
scalar(@arrray)
even if it's clear the array is in scalar context already. Just to
make sure it's plain to see I meant the array length.
