Re: what does @$ mean?

What everyone else said + I prefer this syntax: @{$msg} in part because it helps convey what's going on.

The braces make it clear that `@$` is not a special sigil; that it's still an array with something going on inside. It also enhances readability on long or compound (deep hash access, for example) variable names. IIRC, there used to be a case where it further was necessary to disambiguate the resolution of variables but I'm not sure about that or if it's still true.	[reply] [d/l]

If you don't know what @$foo means, you're not going to know what @{$foo} means, both being basic perl syntaxt.	[reply]
