array question (newbie)

Having an array:

@mylist=("apples", "oranges", "bananas");

And refering to a particular element, which syntax is correct? (or are both
correct)?

print "Item 2 is $mylist[1]\n";
or
print "Item 2 is @mylist[1]\n";

Both seem to work, and looking at other code, I see it done both ways.
