$# is long deprecated It's true that the special perl variable `$#` 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` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

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