Greetings!

A few days back, I posted a message in which I asked for help figuring
out why Perl was reporting that an array had one element when printing
the array showed all 17 elements that it was supposed to have.  I took
a closer look at my entire application last night.  I thought I had
been reading information from a file line by line, splitting the line
into an array, passing the array into a class via a subroutine, using
another subroutine to get the array back out, and printing its
contents.  The problem was that when I was passing the array into the
class, I was using "$_" as the argument instead of "@_".  

I am now expanding one of my favorite sayings:
"C++ gives you thousands of ways to shoot yourself in the foot.  Visual
Basic hides all the ways it shoots you in the foot.  Perl doesn't care
if you shoot yourself in the foot or not."
