what do you mean? `DB<17> ($x= splice @x, 0, 1 ) and print "true" DB<18> p !! splice @x, 0, 1 DB<19>` [download] it's false for me. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply] [d/l]

I believe that, by "What splice says is true in scalar context.", Tybalt meant "in scalar context, the documentation for `splice` holds true", not "in scalar context, `splice` returns a truthy value".	[reply] [d/l] [select]
