Ugh, sticky situation. I think my definition is that an array is a mutable list -- one that can have element insertions or deletions. The elements of a list are mutable (as in ($a,$b) = ($b,$a)) but the list itself is fixed. An array is a list that has operations available on it (such as "what is your size?" and "remove the last element").

Hashes are special -- there's no real non-hash hash-like structure in Perl that I can think of.
