You're a genius! I'd love to understand further: - why using a glob like that makes it readonly - why you have to \15 instead 15 to assign it a value(is it to show it's a scalar?) - does this work with arrays/hashes/etc of *x? - how do assign something besides a nuber to $x? ( *x = \grabdata(); or *x = \"hi there";) - how do I assign somthign to @x or %x etc... Any input anyone?
