The new sigils represent all references. The currency symbols are just other representations of $.

So ¥hr={} means $hr={} and analogous with €ar=[] but the handling is easier. 

--- New                --- Internally
¥hr                ==  $hr
¥hr{k1}            ==  $hr->{k1}  
¥hr{k1}=¥hr2       ==  $hr->{k1} = $hr2
keys ¥hr           ==  keys %$hr
keys ¥hr{k1}{k2}   ==  keys %{ $hr->{k1}{k2} }
print €ar[1]       ==  print $ar->[1]
print @€ar[1]      ==  print @{ $ar->[1] }

hope that's clearer ...

Tomorrow I'll try to hack a codefilter as a proof of concept.

Actually if point 7 is realized, one don't really need point 6 any more ... 

 
sub foo {
  return ( [], {} ) 
}
my (€ar,¥hr) = foo();

But your right the first line was misleading! ... I got confused with the new idea of compability to perl6 syntax...but now I think that's far to complicated to achieve with the perl5 parser.
