Others have already answered your question, but I just wanted to point out something related to the title of your post since it could potentially cause confusion. An ampersand is '&' (the Perl sigil for subroutine), whereas '@' is called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_sign|at sign], at symbol, apetail, commercial at, or even ampersat.
