perldoc has all sorts of problems, it is hard to use to people who
don't yet know how to use it and it does not give you a useful
answer to many questions.
It gives you a correct answer, it is just not very useful to beginners.

PDK doesn't extract the files with the perl source code and for most cases
this protection is enough.
It creates smaller files than PAR and it gives less errors.

Compared to most language documentation, perldoc is great; it's just not
perfect.
My pet peeve is the `perldoc -q` only searches

Scratch that, I was so focussed on the body of the subroutine I forgot the
context.

Or someone with a C background and has yet to learn all the nuances or

Don't use symbolic references. This will not compile under "use
strict;" or "use strict 'refs';". If you need references, use hard
references:
$name = "ajay";
$class = \$name; #
hi it is ananymous subroutine
Here $_ means value of the argument that passed to the sunroutine
And
$$_ you can understand like below
$name="ajay";
$class="name"
$$class== ajay
Thanks

Hi,
try with this code:

$test =~ s/\"([a-z][\(0-9\)]*),([a-z][\(0-9\)]*)\"/$1|$2/g;

This means the programmer wishes that the buffer will be flushed after
every write, or print.
Normally (i.e. $| = 0), the computer stores output in a buffer, which

all of perl's special variables are documented in perldoc perlvar. read
that first and see if you learn what $| does. if you still don't get it,
then ask here for clarification.
