Re^2: list references

I'm beginning to think this is some sort of bug. Here's what I get for your example...

greg@sparky:~/test$ perl -e '$ref=\(1..3); print $$ref'
Not a SCALAR reference at -e line 1.
greg@sparky:~/test$ perl -e '$ref=\(1..3); print "@$ref\n"'
1 2 3

Yes - that DOES look strange. Here is what I get on my " perl, v5.8.3 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" `C:\> perl -e "$ref=\(1..3); print $$ref" 3 C:\>perl -e "$ref=\(1..3); print qq(@$ref\n)" Not an ARRAY reference at -e line 1. C:\>perl -e "$ref=[1..3]; print qq(@$ref\n)" 1 2 3` [download] Offense, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and a fantasy.
