Re^6: Adjusting variable context when working with JSON data?

Oh, I see. I got it completely backwards. For some reason I thought that `$` was used only for scalar values. Will read more on this, thanks again!

For some reason I thought that `$` was used only for scalar values. Well, yes. A reference is a scalar variable. It contains one value: The reference (in the old days we might have called it the "address") to something else. The nature of that "something else" is irrelevant to the typing of the reference -- it is a scalar.	[reply]
