You are right -- but this produces 4 first, as I had always thought it
would, and then 6, as I don't quite understand.  I would never use
that kind of expression, and I sorta maybe understand why it says 6,
but only in hindsight.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    my @ary = (1,2,,4,,6);
    print "Step 1: ", scalar(@ary), "\n";
    print "Step 2: ", scalar(1,2,,4,,6), "\n";
