@array[2] is just an array with one element. ('a') ; and print prints out the element.

Subject: [Chicago-talk] Using "@" to reference element in array

Hi,

I just got a script at work where the writer used:

my @array = qw[adf af a adf asdfd];
print @array[2];

And it works!!

I thought that notation didn't go into effect until Perl6.

I've always done $array[2], and never tried the style above.  Is there any reason not to adopt the style above in future Perl5 programming?

Thanks
Jay
