# or, since [EMAIL PROTECTED] will always be the index of the last
element of
the array: print $a->[-1]
Did I get it right? That looks like homework to me ... Why
would you
ever do that in a practical script?

I think you got it. Ever want the last item in a list, I can think of lots of reasons to want that...

Yeah. I agree. However, I always use the $ARRAY[-1] (or, $ARRAYREF->[-1]) syntax to get at the last element.
Why would I ever type: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?!?
Uh, I wouldn't either, apparently if you didn't know about the -1 capability like the OP :-). TMTOWTDI.
Btw ... What perldoc can I read to read about '$#'?
Not sure, a quick glance at perldata discusses the -1 index usage, but didn't turn up $# that I could see. Its in the books :-).
