Though I have to admit that it's a bit confusing that a typeglob keeps track of it's original package and name, even after it isn't listed there anymore.

lanx@lanx-1005HA:~/pm$ cat tst_glob.pl
$\="\n";

$n=123;
$gr=\*n;

print *n{PACKAGE}," :: ",*n{NAME}," = ", ${*n{SCALAR}};
delete $main::{n};
print *{$gr}{PACKAGE}," :: ",*{$gr}{NAME}," = ", ${*{$gr}{SCALAR}};

lanx@lanx-1005HA:~/pm$ perl tst_glob.pl
main :: n = 123
main :: n = 123

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
