Thanks. :) For what it's worth, BooK already describes its function as "List Interpolation" in `perlsecret` While that's not wrong, it's not giving the whole picture IMHO. From the visual association, I'd say "Mexican Sledge". I see a guy with sombrero dragging a sled(ge)° uphill `@{[ ]}` , tho this might depend on the font chosen ... :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery} °) not sure of the terminology here, seems to be an AE vs BE issue.

Re^6: Splitting Hairs (Sledging Mexican Sledge) by eyepopslikeamosquito (Archbishop) on Oct 09, 2021 at 22:43 UTC
As an Australian cricket fan, the word Sledge has a completely different meaning to me! Even the British (notably the Barmy Army) have become highly skilled at sledging nowadays ... so, given American English prefers "sled" to "sledge", I feel the case for "sled" over "sledge" is overwhelming. Update: See also: Re^7: Rosetta Dispatch Table [OT] (2017) and Re^5: Larger profile pic than 80KB? (2023) Actually, I quite like "sleigh" (a sled on runners pulled by reindeer used to convey people over ice or snow) for the pleasant images it brings to my mind ... imagining LanX now, whip in hand, clad in Lederhosen after eating gingerbread under the Christmas tree, gliding over the snow on his reindeer-powered sleigh -- and yes LanX, I am sledging you now! :)	[reply]
