about ++@_[0]; @_ is a special Perl variable that holds any arguments passed to a function, so ++@_[0]; should increment the first argument by one.
I did some contract testing at MS on Windows 2000 last summer (I'm not proud, but it was an interesting experience). Every Friday there was a party thrown for the W2K team and often they had guest speakers. One Friday Steve Ballmer was the guest speaker, and he said something like this (my paraphrase):
"I hear there's a rumor going around about us delivering a Linux version of Office. Let me set this straight now: it will be a cold day in HELL! We will never make Office for Linux!"
And there was much cheering among the crowd, which I remind you was all MS employees or contractors. From the horse's mouth, as far as I'm concerned!
