As has been answered on many similar questions on this group, @array[$index]
is an array slice with one value.

Then refer to it as $filehandle[$whatever]

The `@' in `@this[$that]' tells perl that you're refering to an array value,
i.e the array slice with one value, $this[$that].

The first `$' in $this[$that]' tells perl that you're refering to a scalar
value.

thus:   @this[$that] == ($this[$that])
