in thread A list returns its last, an array returns its weight

I thought the contexts were SCALAR and ARRAY. I did not know where was a list context. Oh, hold it, just because the function is called wantarray one cannot assume that is checking for array context. Sigh.

    The last sentence of perldoc -f wantarray reads: 
        This function should have been named wantlist() instead.
