Um, nope, just the same. Now you're just calling the FACTORIALS subroutine to put 170 scalars on the stack. The ()[] construct is always going to do that. You have to use @foo[] or $foo->[] to access an existing array. Which you have to have constructed using some variant of @foo = (0,1,etc) or $foo = [0, 1, etc.]. And you have to arrange to do that only once (generally outside the routine, but it can be done inside if you're tricksie), or you're still in the same boat of constructing your list at run time.
