Re^5: Mini-Tutorial: Scalar vs List Assignment Operator

It's not

Question: what is the point in writing a tutorial explaining the difference between list and scalar contexts?

Answer: so that people who don't know the difference can gain some enlightenment.

Question: Besides poring over man pages or searching the Internet, what other way is there to gain an understanding of when a list context is implied and when a scalar context is implied

Answer: write a sub that calls wantarray and divine the context directly

Have I made my point?

huh? Are you saying I wrote a tutorial on contexts? I didn't, but someone else did over here. Are you saying you're writing a tutorial on contexts? All the power to you, but maybe should start a new thread (where people will actually see it) instead of placing it in a reply to some unrelated post.	[reply]
