I fail to see your point, especially since "special perl variables" turns up the very text I quoted in the first result.

    Yes, but the OP was interested in what the ">>" line did, so he likely searched for something like "$? >> 8" -- and the results for that are not nearly as useful because Google doesn't treat that as a phrase. So while the docs do indeed clearly answer the question, the most obvious search at first glance will not take you to the docs. In other words, "The docs answers your question" would have sufficed -- no nead to use "clearly" and the negative connotations that it implies.

    I see it as more of a complaint about Google's handling of special character searches. Such has annoyed me on many occasions too... I know exactly what I want to search for, but can't do a search on it to find the alternate ways to ask for it.

    ... if only Google had a perly regex mode...
