in thread Why does 'print shift sort @array' not work?
Aren't the following functionally equivalent,Technically, no. [sort @array]->[0]; does return a single element. @{[sort @array]}[0]; however is a slice with one element. I would have expected it to warn - just as @array[0] will warn. The PC way to write it is:
print ${[sort @array]}[0];
