| what | Python | Perl | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| null type | None | undef | not exactly identical |
| String concatenation | "py"+"thon" | "pe"."rl" | |
| declare a list | [1,2,3] | (1,2,3) | note that arrays contain only scalars! (1,2, (3,4), 5) becomes (1,2,3,4,5) |
| array length | len(array) | $#array + 1 | Python returns the length of array. Perl gives me the index of the last element. |
| range(1,100) | (1..100) | ||
| create a list from whitespaced values | (no real equivalent) | qw( fred barney wilma dino) | You can use separators others than parenthesis, e.g. qw ! fred barney wilma dino ! |
| multiple assignment | fred, barney, dino = "flintstone", "rubble", None | ($fred, $barney, $dino) = ("flintstone", "rubble", undef); | |
| array concatenation | a+b | (@a, @b) | you can also mix like (@a, 3, @b, undef) |
| array.append(item) | push @array, item |
