No "more than one" required. A 1 element list is a list. @bar[0,1] = `$cmd`; assigns the first two lines of $cmd's output to the first two elements of @bar. @bar[0] = `$cmd`; assigns the first line of $cmd's output to the first element of @bar. $bar[0] = `$cmd`; assigns all of the $cmd's output to the first element of @bar.
