Package: perl-doc
Version: 5.10.1-19
Severity: wishlist
$ perldoc -f sort
sort SUBNAME LIST
sort BLOCK LIST
sort LIST
In list context, this sorts the LIST... (and returns the sorted list value...)
Add some words to make it super clear that
sort @array;
will just get one
Useless use of sort in void context,
and one must do
@array=sort @array;
do accomplish that.
