Nice summary, thanks :)

Re your 2nd code snippet, I swear I’ve run into Perl (5.10) complaining about )[ before, but I have no idea anymore what I did to make it not like it. Your code does work though… Much to my surprise really.

The important thing is that the () is abound the whole subroutine call, not just around the parameters. split("\n", $cmd[$_])[0] would not work.
