The purpose of my message was to clarify the part of the documentation that
Kaushal asked about.
I think you failed on that.
I am aware that Perl has pointers/references, as I mentioned, but the
question is not /about/ pointers, but variables.
Then why did you start about C pointers? Why the C at the all? The
int variables in C work exactly the same scalars work in Perl and the
C pointers work (almost) exactly the same as the references in Perl.
Did you take a look at what you wrote Jenada?

Why did you start about Perl references? (As you would say.) What you
wrote was not only nonsense but also guaranteed to confuse the OP. I
think you're poorly placed to criticize yitzle for his effort.
