Whaaaaaat. This can't work under strict. How is this magic of taking an array like \@rindex before it is defined. Is it being defined in the push statement? I don't understand how that works. Under perltidy it kind of makes more sense, it looks like the ternary operator is used as a branching statement. But what array is it pushing to?.. ohh okay it is pushing to either rindex, eindex, or oindex depending on what match is found.. if that is what is going on, that is really sweet. Is that what is going on here? I printed this out and I'm just staring at it.

is it referencing and dereferencing in the same line.. why is that necessary?
