perlquestion haoess <p>Hi,</p> <p>I played a little bit with the vars listed in [doc://perlvar], and there are some inconsistent behaviours (using v5.10.0). Before filling a bug report, I would like to discuss these issues:<p> <code> % perl -e '$$=1' Modification of a read-only value attempted at -e line 1. % perl -e 'local $$=1' % </code> <p><c>$$</c> is listed as <i>read-only</i>.</p> <p>Same is for other special globals like <c>$]</c>, <c>$^{TAINT}</c>, <c>$^{UNICODE}</c>, and <c>$^V</c>.</p> <p>Is there a bug? Are the docs ambiguous?</p> <p>-- Frank</p>
