Hi Monks,

I am little curious, below is the code sample I was trying ... 

@arr=(1,2,3);
$arr_r=\@arr;
print("accessing ref: @{$arr_r}\n");
print("referrence looks like: $arr_r\n");
undef @arr;
print("accessing ref 2nd time: @{$arr_r}\n");
print("referrence now looks like: $arr_r\n");

[download]

the output I got ... like accessing ref: 1 2 3 referrence looks like: ARRAY(0x18305fc) accessing ref 2nd time: referrence now looks like: ARRAY(0x18305fc)

first time it's able to access the data but after undef'd it's not able to which is correct .... but the referrence still exist ... as you can see.

Is it same as "Dangling Pointer" in C???

Thanks
