Man, you really talk a lot of twaddle!

The OP asked about globs (e.g. *ARGV)

And what do you think *fh is. (It's rhetorical.)

Furthermore, use of ref instead of reftype will fail if the referenced var is blessed.

How can "the reference be blessed", when (as you unnecessarily pointed out yourself) he asked about *GLOB not \*GLOB. It can't; because my suggestion was that he take the reference himself.

Ie. His sub becomes something like:

sub isIt{ local $^W; ref( \$_[0] ) =~ m[GLOB] ? 1 : 0; }

And it is used like this:

[0]{} Perl> printf "%s: %d\n", $_, isIt( $_ ) for *ARGV, *INC, *SIG, * +MATCH, *FH, *A, *B, *STDOUT, *CORE::say;; # *anything *main::ARGV: 1 *main::INC: 1 *main::SIG: 1 *main::MATCH: 1 *main::FH: 1 *main::A: 1 *main::B: 1 *main::STDOUT: 1 *CORE::say: 1

And

... if the referenced var is blessed.

You don't (*CAN'T*) bless a var; only a reference to one!

You can pop-down now.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
