Is this just a typo, or am I not understanding what is presented at, I
think, the 5th occurrence of the term `Example' on the above URL:
Example
my @a = qw/ a b c /; #...@a is now ("a", "b", "c", "d")
my @b = qw/ $foo $bar /; #...@b is now ('$foo', '$bar')
Yes, that is a mistake. It should be:
my @a = qw/ a b c /; #...@a is now ("a", "b", "c")
There is also a mistake at:
<QUOTE>
'X'
Class
This belongs to "Terms and List Operators (Leftward)" in perlop and
"Quote and Quote-like Operators" in perlop.
Description
This is the single quote operator (aka the non-interpolating string
operator). It creates a string literal out of X.
To place a ' inside the string, you must escape it with \:
my $quote = 'He said \'I like quotes.\'';
Unlike double quoted strings, that is the only escape sequence.
</QUOTE>
The other escape sequence is '\\', as in:
my $quote = 'He said \'I like quotes.\\';
