in reply to Re^2: $array[ 'Infinity' ]
in thread $array[ 'Infinity' ]

That is terrifyingly weird. But the 9**9**9 is just an artifact of B::Deparse, as can be seen here. I'm not sure why it does that.

Then again, it makes a kind of twisted sense that $a[inf] means "last element of @a", and (completely by accident) $a[-inf] means "last element counting from the end."
