Hi rsmah++,
That is a very interesting question!
I don't know if this is the best answer, but my first thought was to try assigning to the variable and see what happens:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $a = "123";
foo($a, "456");
sub foo {
for (my $i = 0; $i < @_; $i++) {
my $type = eval { $_[$i] = "variable" } || "constant";
printf "Arg #%d is $type\n", $i + 1;
}
}
The output of this is:
Arg #1 is variable
Arg #2 is constant
Since the write operation is wrapped in an eval, it returns undef if the assignment failed (constant), otherwise the result of the assignment.

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).
