Re: Discover a package global's symbol name given a reference

~~It worked but not with that '\(', the compiler thinks that I am not starting a real '(' (I guess).~~

~~So I put a \ in front of every variable to pass.~~

Sorry, might have been a mistake or something that I have copied incorrectly. I have downloaded the code again and it now works as you stated. All ok!

Sorry again!

What version of Perl are you using? Current Perl (and at least going back a few versions), the \ operator is distributed over lists, so that \( $item1, $item2 ) is the same as ( \$item1, \$item2 ). I wrote this using Perl 5.8.4. What error message did you get? Dave	[reply]
