reinventing the wheel

• zentara about reinventing the wheel
• "You never really know how a wheel works, until you tear it apart. I bet you now know more than most about the http protocol, now that you built your own. I think building your own webserver is a great educational exercise, because it exposes you to all the problems involved, and also makes you appreciate the pre-made wheels that are given to us."

• Note that $, % and @ don't tell you what type variables are, they tell you what type of thing an expression returns. So $ref returns a scalar which may be a reference to an array or a hash. @$ref and @{$ref} return arrays (they are equivalent) by dereferencing $ref. The {} version is much clearer (and often required) when the expression used to get the reference is complicated.
