I acknowledge that this works, and runs under "use strict"; but how is $m not a symbolic reference? I'm a little confused here. `for(split(" ","tsuJ rehtonA lreP rekcaH")){print reverse . " "}print "\b.\n";`	[reply] [d/l]
Re^5: Invoke a method on an object by merlyn (Sage) on Jan 13, 2009 at 15:59 UTC
Yes. It is a symbolic reference (a name instead of a "real" reference). Yes. It still works even under "use strict 'refs'". That's the way it works, and always has. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

As I have discovered from CB, and should have known for myself. Thank you. `for(split(" ","tsuJ rehtonA lreP rekcaH")){print reverse . " "}print "\b.\n";`	[reply] [d/l]
