Dear monks In "perlreftut - Mark's very short tutorial about references" there is a line which says:
You can use a string as if it were a reference. If you use the string "foo" as an array reference, it's taken to be a reference to the array @foo. This is called a soft reference or symbolic reference. The declaration use strict 'refs' disables this feature, which can cause all sorts of trouble if you use it by accident.
The final phrase has a dual meaning, and might be interpreted to mean that use strict 'refs' is a dangerous practice. Perhaps it could be better be written as:
...,since this 'feature' can cause all sorts of trouble if you use it by accident.
How does one go about changing these docs, or are they just frozen in stone?
