You choose : : so that functions like grep can return an array in "whatever" : context. This is best demonstrated using an example: : : my $x = grep { ... } @list; # returns count
I think that's already "whatever context". $x contains the resulting array. It's only if you later say +$x that you'll get the number of elems. Larry
