Re: Re (tilly) 2 (expectations): Apparent Inconsistencies in Perl Function Naming

IOW return a list of lengths instead of the number of things in the array. (Which I can easily get anyways.)

Really then, shouldn't length return a list or a scalar depending on the context in which it was called? :)

Note to all: If you don't see the humor in this, reread the thread

Way ahead of you, length should return a list or a scalar depending on the context in which it was called. A conclusion I came to in Re (tilly) 3: Apparent Inconsistencies in Perl Function Naming...	[reply]
