Pointless. Variable names in Perl identify what kind of variable they
are. @ for arrays, % for hashes. [ ] for accessing an element of a
hash, { } for accessing element of a hash.

I heartily disagree, but if you think there's something that's not
clear, either use the built-in `perlbug` utility, mention it to the
perl5-porters list, or start a discussion about it on
comp.lang.perl.misc. That's the point of the language being open-
source, after all. Far more people are going to see those documents
than will ever see your post to beginners@perl.org, so if you're aim
is really to help out new Perl programmers, improving the
documentation is the best approach.
