In perldata there is no discussion on the value of n, so
it doesn't matter. It can already represent that last 
index.

Your suggested fix is more confusing since it comes without
context and makes it look as if there is an operation in
the array index.

I don't see any reason to change it, unless we change it
to:

   @days   # ($days[0], $days[1],... $days[$#days])
