Perhaps this would help.

Pointy brackets, that is  [and {,
go with references, scalars that point to thingies.

      My pleasure. I had never thought of that until I read your question.

      I would also suggest use strict; and -w or use warnings; and
      coding and running small chunks of code often. This will find these and
      other errors and dubi-osities.
