Re: my (fooref) = shift;

There is however at least one example where it is 

my foo_ref = shift;

I am trying to figure out if this matters.  What would
shift care about list context?   shift should still
yield  one thing an array ref???    See page 356 in
the camel book, and page 224.  (I think).

shift() returns a scalar in either list context or scalar context so both statements do the same thing.
