The following code prints a 0, a 1, a 2, and an empty line. But which is which?
use 5.020;
sub one { 1 }
sub two { 2 }
say one&two ;
say &one&two ;
say &one&&&two ;
say &&&one&&&two;
It is not that difficult to figure out, it was a accidental discovery while messing around with syntax highlighting. For the friends of JAPH, here's one with five consecutive ampersands:
use 5.020;
sub s { say };
$_ = 'Jusst another Perl hacker';
s&s&&&&&s

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).
