I think you're having a bad day today, John.  () x 5 is the 
same as (), so @hands in a scalar context will still be 0 after 
that statement.

I think you meant something like 

  @hands = ( [] ) x 5;

except that then you get 5 references to the same anonymous 
array.  You would need

  push @hands, [] for 1 .. 5;

which is starting to get less fun.
