      Why? I would have expected that using the foreach $string acutally is assigned to whatever is the element of the array but aparently this is not the case.

Turn on strict and warnings and you'll see why.

use warnings; use strict; my $sref = \$string; foreach $string ( @array_of_strings ) { print $$sref; } $ perl sref_o.pl Global symbol "$string" requires explicit package name at sref_o.pl li +ne 4. Global symbol "$string" requires explicit package name at sref_o.pl li +ne 5. Global symbol "@array_of_strings" requires explicit package name at sr +ef_o.pl line 5. Execution of sref_o.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
