It's my impression (Danger Will Robinson!) that an array has a name while a list doesn't. That is, for:
my @ary = (1, 2, 3); "@ary" is an array, while "(1, 2, 3)" is a list, the contents of which are the three integers, one, two, and three. This probably isn't quite kosher--there's probably more to it than this. Just my two cents.

All of my Perl books seem to use the word "list" and "array" interchangeably. Is there a difference between a list and an array? (believe it or not, I'm not a newb).
