Re: Is there an isArray() in Perl?

The reftype function in module Scalar::Util is good. It returns 'ARRAY' for any array reference, even if it's blessed.

The ref function will return "ARRAY" if its argument is an unblessed array reference. emc Information about American English usage here and here. Floating point issues? Read this before posting: http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html	[reply]

Right. That makes it inappropriate as an `isArray` function, since it returns false for some arrays.	[reply]

If you work with normal array variables (not a reference ones), then you will never need such function. The sigil @ tells your right away that it's an array. Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can. Yet, share and enjoy!	[reply]
