        !             2: When you have a list of numbers in a cell, how it is displayed depends
        !             3: on how you seperate the numbers and how Perl interprets the results.
        !             4: 
        !             5: \textbf{35 45 12} will not generate any result because this is an
        !             6: invalid perl statement.
        !             7: 
        !             8: \textbf{35,45,12} will have a result of 12 because Perl has a comma
        !             9: operator similar to the comma operator\index{comma operator} in C.
        !            10: 
        !            11: The comma operator is binary and returns the value on its right. Thus
        !            12: \texttt{\$variable = 15, 26;} assigns \texttt{\$variable} the value
        !            13: 26.  If you need the values to all be displayed, enclose the entire
        !            14: cell contents in quotes.
