Re: Re: local variables and classes

As for your confusion, sub numtoname, aka numtoname(), is a routine which is the only place the hash %numtoname, aka $numtoname{..}, is referenced. Since they all have different sigils, and can be distinguished, you are allso allowed to have a scalar value, $numtoname, and an array @numtoname, aka $nuumtoname.., but they wouldn't do anything useful, in this case.

So what you are saying is that the $numtoname{$_} is just a variable that just happens to have the same name as the subroutine? I could use $my_var{$_} instead?

forgive me for being slow on this
