Hello, I'm using Perl v5.6.1 built for cygwin-multi. It runs on cygwin 1.3.19-1. I'm going thru some example code in "man perlintro":
> my $variables = { > scalar => { > description => "single item", > sigil => '$', > }, > array => { > description => "ordered list of items", > sigil => '@', > }, > hash => { > description => "key/value pairs", > sigil => '%', > }, > }; > > print "Scalars begin with a $variables->{'scalar'}->{'sigil'}\n"; All it prints is
Scalars begin with a $
I don't want to jump to conclusions and say it's wrong, but it sure seems strange for the point being illustrated. Is it correct? If not, what might be wrong? Do other users of this perl version (and/or cygwin version) have the same problem? I tried to find the charter for these newsgroups via google (searching for charter in the subject line, as well as in general for some of the groups). Can anyone refer me to this? Thanks.
