Thanks, this was one thing I didn't know about. It just all boils down to reading documentation properly

Just as you said

$ perl -e 'use strict;use Data::Dumper;{my @c=(0..10);$d=\@c} print Du
+mper $d'
Global symbol "$d" requires explicit package name at -e line 1.
Global symbol "$d" requires explicit package name at -e line 1.

Doesn't work, but

$ perl -e 'use strict;use Data::Dumper;{my @a=(0..10);$b=\@a} print Du
+mper $b'
$VAR1 = [
          0,
          1,
          2,
          3,
          4,
          5,
          6,
          7,
          8,
          9,
          10
        ];
