True. And (for the first time here:), I actually knew that.

However, as I understand it, when I defined my @list, I actually defined a typeglob named *list which contains one each of a scaler, an array, a list and a hash all named list (and accessable locally with the appropriate funny character prefix).

Moreover, when one iterates over @list using one of the foreach or for...in constructs, the scaler $list is automagically (sorry. I forgot the correct term) set to the next value from @list at each iteration. Hence, my attempt to use that.

The problem in this case (thanks to jeffa!), is that the iteration in being performed outside of my scope, so $list is never being set.

At least that is my understanding at this point. Maybe someone will correct me if I have this wrong.
