I can't make a serious justification, other than to visually group parts of an expression.

    push @array  => $foo, $bar, $baz;
    join '|'     => $foo, $bar, $baz;
    map func($_) => $foo, $bar, $baz;

In this case, while the arrow appears reversed, I do it for stylistic consistency with the other expressions.

Hm, ok. That's an interesting idea anyway.

You couldn't possibly mean push @ary => $_!

No, he actually meant push @ary, @$foo; rather than looping at all ;-)

Yes, you're absolutely correct. I got wrapped up inthe details of the problem and didn't focus on the actual code. Whoops :)

On another note, I swear I answered this a couple of days ago, but I see in glancing at the post that I apparently didn't. Grr ...
