in thread sort mechanism

A LIST in SCALAR context returns its last item. An ARRAY in SCALAR context returns its count.

A LIST in ARRAY/LIST context returns a LIST. An ARRAY in ARRAY/LIST context returns a LIST.

That gets just about everyone at one time or another. It flat *BOGGLED* me for a while. Try this: perl -e 'print scalar( (1,2,3,4) ),$/'
