Honestly, did you immediately spot the problem in BUK's code? Re: Idiom to return 0 or random number of array elements UPDATE: Do you really prefer explaining goatse "op" =()= and turtle "op" @{[ ]} to newbes who simply need to count the elements a function returns? UPDATE: > I'd rather see them overload length to accept a hash, array or reference to a hash or array. Then it's quite impossible to tell what length ($str) is supposed to return. 1 for the list-size or the char-size of $str?
Cheers Rolf In reply to Re^2: new keyword "size" to avoid scalar trap ? ( scalar @array != scalar(LIST) )
