Also, more importantly, you've got a terminology mismatch in the whole document: symbol tables aren't like hashes, they are hashes.
They are accessed like hashes, but they are not hashes. It could perhaps be said that hashes are not symbol tables but symbol tables can be treated exactly like hashes except they can only store globs and have various sorts of magical behaviour associated. But that's a little confusing and long-winded.
%main:: (AKA %::, which you might want to mention explicitly)
I'll see if I can slip it in there somewhere :)
Thanks for the input!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
