in thread How to get HTML::Parser to return a line of parsed text


These are probably extremely stupid questions, but I couldn't find answers to them - I only have merlyn's llama book on my desk; no camel yet.

First of all, what does the backslash do in \my @accum?

Secondly, what is the 'map' keyword, and what does the $_->[0] refer to?

Apologies if these are too trivial...
