in reply to Of Symbol Tables and Globs
Perl has two different types of variables - lexical and dynamic.
I think package global is a much better description than dynamic.
All these slots are accessible bar the FORM slot. Why this is I don't know...
Because it's spelled FORMAT.
nother thing to be noted from the above example is that you can't assign toglob slots directly,
Judging by your next paragraph, I think you need to clarify what you mean by assign directly.
