in reply to the "@" indicates plural hence "s" is redundant
In Perl 5, sigils are more like qualifier adjectives that plural modifiers. I always read $ as "that" and
@ as "those". So using plural forms for arrays
makes perfect sense to me:
$num = 7; # that num is 7 @nums = 1..7; # those nums are 1..7 @squares # those squares = map $_**2, @nums; # are those nums squared $max # that max = $squares[6]; # is that element at index 6 of squares
