my $arrayElement = $$arrayRef[0];
my $hashValue = $$hashRef{someKey};
I prefer:
my $array_element = $array_ref->[0];
my $hash_value = $hash_ref->{some_key};
Using arrow notation makes it easier for me to recognize
that the thingys in question are references (I find that
the extra leading sigil gets lost in the code soup to my
eyes). It also makes doing nested dereferences easier:
my $foo = $AoH_ref->[0]->{some_key};
although you'd be better off doing:
my $hash_ref = $AoH_ref->[0];
my $foo = $hash_ref->{some_key};
in most cases.

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).
