Fine, but since you are getting a reference, I don't really think

for clarity use: for (@{$thing1}){...}
For clarity, I prefer it like this:

Another ill advice. There is no need to add a dereferencing level here.
A scalar has no inherent type, a construct like \@data has.

Prototypes in Perl are not the same as in C. Don't use them. Using them
is an advance technique that changes the syntax of the language.
Hi Rob,
The first two links are to pirated copies of O'Reilly books.
What is your point?
Shlomi's point is presumably that it is inappropriate to encourage
piracy on this list.
Thanks, I appericiate that and I also support Shlomi's view then!
