in thread Very quick question about names in perl
Unless you're looking up names symbolically, in which case you can put anything in a variable name, including control characters:
# 007 (octal) is ASCII bell perl -e '${"\00717foo"} = 1; print ${"\00717foo"}'
Though this should usually not be confused with a good idea.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
