Perl treats same variable differently based on Context, i.e., situation where a variable is being used. 

Assuming an array @my_array=("MOHD","KASID")

if I am storing this array in two different context. 

@my_newarray =@my_array;

$Lenght_array=@my_array;

print "@my_newarray and $Lenght_array"

so the final result will be : MOHD KASID and2
