Guilty.  I'll use the Salzenberg Ploy, and say that society is to
blame.  Or I'll blame my infant (I never imagined he'd be such a
*useful* child).

ObPerl: one of the mistakes I find myself making often (but which,
thank goodness, use strict catches) is saying

  @names = ....;

and then

  $name[1]

i.e., plural when I talk about the array as a whole, but singular when
I talk about an element.

Nearly thirty years of working hard at the English language, and it's
all wasted :-)
