in thread Arrow Operator Oddment

The problem is: MeowChow created a normal Array and a normal Hash:

@l = 0..10; %h = (a => 1, b => 2);

But then read from them as if they were a reference to an array and a reference to a hash:

print @l->[4]; # prints 4 print %h->{b}; # prints 2

This would be the normal way to access the array and the hash:

print $l[4]; # prints 4 print $h{b}; # prints 2
