Hi there,

sometimes I'm getting confused with all those curly brackets and braces. So here's my question. I've got a function that returns an 2D-array of values and I want to access the first row only.
so basically I'm looking for a way to write the following in one line.
my @ret = func();
my @line1 = @{$ret[0]};
this works but i like to have an even short form. s.th. like
my @line1 = @{func()[0]} or so.
Thanks for every help...

my @line1 = @{ (func())[0] };

my $mtime = (stat($file))[9];
