Comment Comment by matt_p Why is this difficult to understand? my @foo = qw(1 2 3); $foo[0] = 1;you are referencing an array and returning a scalar. the sigil represents a scalar which is what is returned. A list isn't being returned, so why should the sigil represent that? parent matt_p 16 years ago
