man perlref is missing critical mention of how to combine $$ and $#:
$ perl -lwe 'use strict; my @m=1..11; my $arrayref = \@m; print $#m; print
$#$arrayref'
10
10
By the way, curious as to where $# itself is documented, on man perlvar we see
...not the sigil you use in front of an array name to get
the last index, like $#array. That's still how you get the
last index of an array in Perl...
but apparently no better mention in all of the perl man pages.
