A script that I'm refactoring has global variables in two different

The quote marks don't seem to make a difference, so what would be the
advantage of using them? What are they and what do they do? I don't recall
seeing anything like this before.
Yes, you can leave the quotes off if the key contains only
alphanumerics. Otherwise you need to quote it:
$programming{"don'ts"} = "Don't forget to quote hash keys if they have
non-alphanumerics.";
Also, the above can be written as:
$main::global->{'form'}->{'mailprog'}
$main::global->{form}->{'mailprog'}
$main::global->{form}{mailprog}
$::global->{form}{mailprog}

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
