Re^2: scalar in list context

There is no difference between @list= 1,2,3,4; and @list=(1,(2,3,(4)));

Careful! Precedence makes a big difference between those two. You're thinking of @array = (1, 2, 3, 4) versus @array = (1, (2, 3, (4))).

Wow thanks a lot. Indeed, the `=` has a higher precedence than comma ... UPDATE: what I really wanted to show is that `sub list1 { 1,2,3,4 }` and `sub list2 { (1,(2,3,(4))) }` return the same result. The parens are not necessary to produce a list but are saver and often better to read... Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l] [select]
