You are right. And by the way, Net::FTP was causing problems for us along these lines... it is best to get an array ref from Net::FTP instead of an array because you will get an array with one element (undef) if there are no files resulting from an $ftp->ls call.

But anyway, undef %h or undef @x will work fine. But the noun form is the one that I errantly used.

What a dummy am I.

oops, there I go again. That should've been What a dummy I am... misplaced noun and verb again. heh.
