Read perldoc pervar and look for info on $< and $(. They are settable.

The only caveat which I would add to this is that these variables - `$<`, `$>`, `$(` and `$)` - can only be set on machines that support the underlying `set[re][ug]id()` routines. `perl -le 'print+unpack"N",pack"B32","00000000000000000000001001101010"'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
