To clarify @$c[0] means the same as @{$c}[0] meaning dereference $c, take array slice
Well... I'm not sure it's that much more clear. After all, "I know what I mean, ..."
I'm still puzzled by the absence of a "... better written as ..." warning. Maybe the usage is just too far off the beaten track for warnings to stumble over.
>perl -wMstrict -le
"my @c = ('foo');
print @c[0];
;;
my $c = ['bar'];
print @{$c}[0];
print @ $c [0];
"
Scalar value @c[0] better written as $c[0] at -e line 1.
foo
bar
bar

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
