in reply to RE: Arrays are not lists
in thread Arrays are not lists
Perl actually stands for Pathologically Eclectic
Rubbish Lister, but don't tell anyone I said that.
-- (BUGS section of "perldoc perl")
Here is my theory.
Perl is a list-oriented language. Widely known and (un)popular languages like VB, Pascal, C (and derivatives) generally are not. Therefore the list-oriented features of Perl tend to be downplayed by both authors and programmers, leading to much confusion.
Make sense?
