-----Original Message----- From: Ryan Frantz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 5:03 AM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: Whimsical Question Perlers, <snip> I realized this after reading over example code in the Alpaca and it got me to wondering: _Is_ there a name for '$_' ? For example, when I see '#!', I read 'shebang' and it rolls off the tongue, but 'dollar underscore' is clumsy. Does anyone know if a name exists? If not, do any of you have pet name for it? <snip> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
