Re: Perl variable indirection

2011-11-05 Thread Anneli Cuss
Hi Parag, It's probably not a good idea to do this kind of indirection anyway. You're better off using a hash; you don't know what you could be overwriting, depending on the input to foo_bar, and it creates a class of bugs you're better off avoiding worrying about. See this well written article f

2011-10-29 Thread Anneli Cuss
Two comments: 02000 is 1024 in base 8; the leading 0 indicates octal much as leading 0x indicates hex. $a & $b returns the number with bits in common, so we expect 1024 & 1024 to equal 1024 (or 02000 & 02755, the latter being a realistic file mode; note these are in octal). This will be true in b
