I think you need to do some reading. reverse doesn't work how you think either... reverse "ab" is "ab" ... sorry.

    Er... the result of reverse "ab" varies according to the context it is evaluated in. The concaternation operator evaluates it in scalar context.

    $ perl -le 'print "0x" . reverse "ab"' 0xba

    I'm not saying my solution is a good idea, but I do know how reverse works :)
