Try more parenthesis or perlmonks.com

[greglindahl]

I'd vote for the first and not the second... perlmonks.com will probably also say "try more parenthesis".

Both are wrong answers.

[] "parens" (arrayrefs to enable two list assignments) would be ok, but we don't call [] parens, they are called brackets.

perlmonks is long dead.

Perlmonk's isn't dead even if it's a shadow of it's former self. That said reddit's perl subreddit [1] might be a decent choice as is IRC (freenode #perl, magnet/irc.perl.org #perl-help) for live help.

Perlmonks is surely alive.
