scalar / list context weirdness


This is returning a bunch of 1's instead of a bunch of file names
without their .html extensions. Anyone see why?

    @indices = map { $_ =~ s/.html$// } @indices;

This is the fuller snippet:

    my @indices = `/bin/ls papers/*html`;
    chomp(@indices);
    @indices = map { $_ =~ s/.html$// } @indices;
    print "@indices\n";

Thanks.
