qw( john jacob $name ) is equivelent to
('john', 'jacob', '$name') notice the single quote. The single quotes does
not interpolate (use the special meanings of special charaters, so the $
doesn't designate a varible name it's just a $ character).

Subject: qw for variables?
Greetings;
I can get qw to work for things like
@n = qw( john jacob jingleheimer schmidt );
but something like
@n = qw( $names );
doesn't work. I get the literal string "$names" in @n!
What does the equivalent of qw(???) for a variable?
Many TIA!
Dennis
