nysus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Being Perlmonk's most clueless Vicar, I continually find new idioms that leave me baffled. I'm looking though this code. On line 33, I see:

"o|c|out=s" => \my $csv

What is the slash doing there before my?

And on line 55:

$csv and $xls = $csv;

I've stared at this for a good 2 minutes and can't figure it out. I guess that's what keeps Perl so interesting. Thanks to the monks for your patience with me after all these years. :)
