In perl, the last variable ____ in a function is returned.
sub timestamp { my $t = localtime; \$t }
is the same as
sub timestamp { my $t = localtime; return \$t; }
This function stores the localtime (seconds since epoch?) in a
variable $t, then returns a reference to $t.-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
