Outside your subroutine, the distinction doesn't matter.
It does, depending on context. See Context aware functions - best practices? for an example of this. It will all look like arrays(Assuming list context.) Make that "lists" instead. A bunch of values are returned, and as you say yourself, that's a list. If you really want to return a list but the whole list is stored in an array you can do return @stuff[0..$#stuff]; ihb
