Re: a few questions about __PACKAGE_

The error message you posted is on line 8, but the code you posted does not have 8 lines

The code you posted does not compile (typo)

You're also missing a pair of braces in the interpolation, to dereference the reference you're taking

The syntax you're looking for, the common idiom, is

print "@{[  1,2,'Q', rand  ]}\n";
print "@{[  __PACKAGE__  ]}\n";
__END__

I think the form of that idiom the OP had seen was probably $ perl -wE 'print "${\__PACKAGE__}\n";' main (or `"${\(...)}"`) which is a little less unsightly, if the expression returns a scalar.	[reply] [d/l]
