Oh goody!  flame war bate!

I stopped liking perl when I learned why this script didn't do what I
expected it to do:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my @array = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11);
print length(@array), "\n";

Maybe things have changed since then, but I spent way too much time
being confused by this.
