This is captial U above
=> as an operator is essentially just a comma, with the added feature
that you don't have to quote a word to the left of it. So the following
are equivalent:
"SHELL", "/bin/csh"
SHELL => "/bin/csh"
I'm not sure what you mean by "print using the => notation". Do you
want the characters => to print? Then what you are doing is fine, if
you use the right variable name:
print "Value: => $Unix{SHELL}\n";
In this case => are just characters in a quoted string, not an operator.
