Can anyone explain to me why the scalar $ENV
doesn't show up in a package with its
"fully-qualified" package name?
% cat xxx.pl
package script;
$env = 1;
$ENV = 2;
print "\$env = '$env'\n";
print "\$ENV = '$ENV'\n";
print "\$script::env = '$script::env'\n";
print "\$script::ENV = '$script::ENV'\n";
% perl xxx.pl
$env = '1'
$ENV = '2'
$script::env = '1'
$script::ENV = ''
%
I suppose this has something to do with
the special status of %ENV,
but that sure seems to run counter to
the usual distinction between
a same-named scalar and hash.
This behavior is consistent on Perl 5.00 345 and 5.6.0,
so it's not a version-specific bug, at least...

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).
