Re^2: typeglob & my

> *foo is that stash

hmm ... in my terminology *foo is a _typeglob_ for the _symbol_ foo having slots for variables like %foo or $foo.

But the STASH (= symbol table hash) is the surrounding hash (associated to a package e.g. %main::) holding such symbols.

see also "symbol table" in perlglossary

Cheers Rolf

UPDATES: added link and "slot"-part
