Re: Small first strict obfuscation

Okay ... need some help here ...

From Prog. Perl 2nd Edition

$; is the subscript separator
$/ is the input record separator
$$ is the PID ???? [i.e. $$=(join('',@$)."!");]

What is @$ ? Swap every? PerlMonks search returned nothing.

Even though I don't get it, the !bleep!-ing thing works as designed!!!!

Help! TIA

@$ is just another array. It has no special meaning. (Except that `use strict` dosen't complain about it even if you don't declare it, and it's always in package main)	[reply] [d/l]

THX! So, what is $$ in this context, the PID?	[reply]

It usually is the PID, yes. However, it's been assigned another value, so it's just a random global variable now.	[reply]
