Just to pound the point completely into the ground: `>perl -wMstrict -le "F('success'); ;; sub F { my $scalar_context = @_; my ( $list_context ) = @_; ;; print qq{in scalar context: '$scalar_context'}; print qq{in list context: '$list_context'}; } " in scalar context: '1' in list context: 'success'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
