I may have overheard most of a conversation stating that print is actually done as an indirect function call on a bareword (with magic to allow it to work) then again, i could have made it all up... the prin { $_->[0] } @foo we're seeing here is a block returning a file handle for print to write to (as perldoc says), so it's not a de-reference as *{ ... } would suggest Update: added some actual information
@_=qw; ask f00li5h to appear and remain for a moment of pretend better than a lifetime;;s;;@_[map hex,split'',B204316D8C2A4516DE];;y/05/os/&print;
In reply to Re^3: print to a filehandle
