in thread typeglob/symbolic reference question
I have a follow up question: how do you interpret the left side of the following line:
*{"color"} = sub {#do something};
"Go to the symbol table and look up the name color and grab the glob slot"?
This is from Mastering Perl:
Package Identifier Type Variable +------> SCALAR - $bar | +------> ARRAY - @bar | +------> HASH - %bar | Foo:: -----> bar -----+------> CODE - &bar | +------> IO - file and dir handle | +------> GLOB - *bar | +------> FORMAT - format names | +------> NAME | +------> PACKAGE
