I have scant knowledge of Perl (being Saved by Python just in time), but
as far as I recall the $ @ stuff can be used to somehow make a particular
variable behave like a number, list, or whatever. So I imagine it allows
arbitrary arguments which you then may analyze and then treat in the way
you desire. Or something. My mind never really wrapped around the concept.
