As someone who prefers camelCase I use a more succinct convention.

my $rsSomeValue = \ do { my $val = 42 };   # scalar ref
my $raCats = [ qw{ Tiddles Desmo Felix } ] # array ref
my $rhAges = { John => 23, Bill => 35 };   # hash ref
my $rcDoIt = sub { return $_[ 0 ] * 3 };   # code ref
my $rxPat = qr{abc};                       # regexp ref
my $roObj = Some::Pkg->new()               # object ref

If I see something matching m{\$r[sahcxo][A-Z]} I know I'm dealing with a reference.

Cheers,
