Excuse me if I seem a little ... less than sympathetic, but context is one of the most Perl-ish things out there. In addition, the Camel book does mention something concerning context, specifically with reverse. (First words in the function description of reverse are "In list context, ...").

I guess I just feel that, with the number of times context is mentioned on the site per day, that ayone who reads it has encountered the concept. *shrugs*
