No, it's not perlish and please don't use it any more.

$# is long deprecated, and will throw exception when using on 5.30 soon.

Thank syphilis for pointing out my misunderstanding!

    $# 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

    Cheers,
    Rob
