No, you can't "just say" that
$foo=$bar;
@foo=@bar;
%foo=%bar;
and
*foo = *bar;
are equivalent. The first set of assignments sets
$foo, @foo and %foo from
the values of $bar, @bar and %bar,
and that's it. If you later assign to $bar
or $bar [3], $foo and
$foo [3] remain unchanged.
However, with the glob assignment, $foo, @foo
and %foo become aliases for $bar, @bar
and %bar. Modifications of the one are reflected
in the other.

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).
