Thanks for the kudos ;-)
Interpolation stringifies. Sinister consequences come to bite you if you get the habit and do so with references:

use strict; my $arrayref = [ qw(a b c) ]; my %hash; $hash{abc} = $arrayref; # ok print $hash{abc}->[2],"\n"; # prints c $hash{abc} = "$arrayref"; # oops, reference converted to a string print $hash{abc}->[2], "\n"; # barfs __END__ c Can't use string ("ARRAY(0x9f43c28)") as an ARRAY ref while "strict re +fs" in use at - line 5.
