Looking at Ton and suo's solutions:

ton       34 @a=0..30;@a[@ARGV]=();print<@a>.$/
suo       34 @x=0..30;@x[@ARGV]=();print<@x>.$/

Can anyone explain the following? Or is it just one of those Perl quirks
that one frequently encounters when playing golf :-) ?

% perl -e'@x=(st);print <@x>'
st

% perl -e'$x="st";print <$x>'

% perl -e'%x=(st=>1);print <%x>'
%x
