So I'm reading someone elses code and come acrosse something like
this..
@things = qw(one two three);
print $things[-1];
Which prints "three". Actually, the code really looks more like
this..
my $updated= localtime((stat $cAr[-1]->source_file)[9]);
Which really looks ugly to me. In this example $cAr is an array of
HTML::Mason components.
So, I'm wondering if you guys know an alternate idom for specifiying
the last element of an array. Indexing it with -1 looks ugly to me.
