Assignments

• Perl allows assignments of just about any type

@my_array = 1; # this is legal, same as @my_array = (1);

$a = @my_array; # this is legal too - $a is assigned the length

# of the array

@flintstones = ("fred","wilma");

@rubbles = ("barney", "betty");

@members = (@flintstones, @rubbles);

# perfectly legal, @members gets assigned members of both arrays

@members = (@flintstones, "barney", "betty");

# "mixed" assignment, also legal
