>perl -wMstrict -le
"sub sample { return [1, 2, 3, 4]; }
 my $c = sample()->[2];
 print $c;
"

BTW: The &sample form of subroutine invocation is deprecated.

You are passing @ARGV to sample. Thats why the syntax &subroutine is bad TM. Its not just cosmetically ugly. `print+qq(\L@{[ref\&@]}@{['@'x7^'!#2/"!4']});`	[reply] [d/l]
