Re: Question about Perl refs and basic types

However, I could not get the vstringRef to print VSTRING. Any clues why #11 above shows SCALAR?

Your version of perl is too old -- reading perldocs is great, but match them to your version of perl

You are spot on! I did `printf "version is v%vd\n", $^V; # Perl's version` [download] and got v5.8.9. Then I checked the perldoc ref for 5.8.9 and VSTRING is not present.	[reply] [d/l]
