Re^2: Is space supposed to be ignored between a sigil and its variable name?

Sure it's confusing. Without running the code, tell me what $i and $j are.

my $x = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'];

my $i = $ x -> [ 4 ];
my $j = "$ x -> [ 4 ]";

print "$i\n";
print "$j\n";

No :) some things aren't defined well, stick to what is defined :) `my $x = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']; my $i = $ x -> [ 4 ]; my $j = "$ x -> [ 4 ]"; my $k = "$x->[4]"; warn $i; warn $j; warn $k; __END__ e at - line 6. ARRAY(0x225f04) -> [ 4 ] at - line 7. e at - line 8.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
