in thread Symbolic refs aka. dynamic variables again

I'm not going to pretend deep knowledge of Perl internals, but the typeglob structure allocates sufficient space to point to ...

  • a scalar value - $foo
  • an array value - @foo
  • a hash value - %foo
  • a subroutine - &foo
  • a filehandle - foo
  • a format - foo

Whereas each hash key points directly to a scalar value (SV)

    you forgot one slot in the glob, the glob itself - *foo

      Globs are not Klein bottles. There is no slot in a glob for the glob.

      (Aristotle noted that I spelled "Klein" wrong)
