Re^3: Python tricks

No, it's not perlish and please don't use it any more.

$# is long deprecated, and will throw exception when using on 5.30 soon.

Thank syphilis for pointing out my misunderstanding!

$# is long deprecated

It's true that the special perl variable $# is deprecated, but hippo is using "$#" in a different, quite allowable, context:

C:\_32>perl -le "print $#;"
$# is no longer supported as of Perl 5.30 at -e line 1.

C:\_32>perl -wle "@x=(7,8,9);print $#x;"
2

It is $# built in variable what is deprecated, see https://perldoc.perl.org/perlvar.html. $#varname returns the largest index of @varname array.
