Do you really consider my $email       = "$firstName" . "_" . "$lastName\@email.com"; quoting of a lone scalar?
( in my opinion, the '.' disqualifies it)

I think it is, especially when you could just as well do:

my $email = "$firstName\_$lastName\@email.com";
or
............"${firstName}_$lastName\@email.com";

runrig - who has been doing too much VBScripting lately and is really appreciating perl's string interpolation.

But then there is nothing evil about it.

If you're concatinatin a bunch of scalars, who cares if one is a ref, since you're not expecting it to be.

There is no evil here.
