Yep, you're right

Hmmmm... the reason what I use the list comprehension was the description
"call that thing for every thing in those things" The first time I something
saw this I though, in my C befuddled head 'huh? that's backwards!'  But,
then the more I thought about it I recall that this is how some people
speak.

Still  I prefer

funcs[:]()

Because, I can describe it in English as "call everything that funcs has"

(BTW, I have yet to write my first line of Perl. It that good thing or a bad
thing?)
