    I think that that's much the same as saying that the Perl source explains the workings of all of Perl—it's true, but not necessarily helpful for someone who doesn't want to dive deep into the innards. In particular, I think that one still can't extract from perlguts the fact that the symbol table is for package variables.

    A little too technical for me at this point.

    Thanks. That's very well written. Required reading. My favorite section:

    When to Use my and When to Use local

    Always use my; never use local.

    Wasn't that easy?
