Re^4: Why I can't fetch any special variables ?

Why are you contradicting two people without proof or argument?

I'm not contradicting two people, i'm contradicting you, because perlvar contradicts you, you don't need \cX

The OP also showed that the var isn't named `"^X"` and that it is named `"\cX"` before you claimed the opposite. Furthermore, perlvar doesn't contradict anything I said. In fact, it says exactly the same thing I said. perlvar specifically says that `$^X` is a "single-control-character names" and that Perl "understands ^X (caret X) to mean the control-X character". Yes, perlvar says that `$^X` is just an alias for `$`. It even specifically uses `$^X` as the example! >perl -le"print qq{print qq{\$\cX}}" print qq{$} >perl -le"print qq{print qq{\$\cX}}" \| perl -l ...\perl.exe	[reply] [d/l] [select]
