tachyon has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Deconstructing an obfu I came across something like this: 

$World = "Perl";
print <Hello $World!>;

What's going on here. We get interpolation of the $World but lose the whitespace? It is not behaving like q qq or qw. 

$World = "Perl";
print <Hello $World!>, "\n";
print q<Hello $World!>, "\n";
print qq<Hello $World!>, "\n";
print qw<Hello $World!>, "\n";

    See glob and then look up $, in perlvar.pod.

      Thanks tye. 

      $World = "Perl";
$, = " tye, you know ";
print <Hello $World!>;
