There sure is more than one way to name your references. `$rsReally = \"yes really"; $raReally = [qw"yes really"]; $rhReally = {qw"yes really"};` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
Re^4: Perl Best Practices for naming variables (sv, av, hv) by tye (Sage) on Nov 08, 2012 at 15:27 UTC
In Perl, the prefixes of sv, av, and hv might be more recognizable. Well, at least for people who have seen discussions that touched on internals that used the standard (and ubiquitous) abbreviations that are used internally. At least, I have sometimes used names like `$sv_xml` when I saw a value in calling out "this is a reference (of this type)" in the variable name. - tye	[reply] [d/l]

Maybe, though array-value/hash-value/scalar-value don't sound as good as array-ref/hash-ref/scalar-ref -- but definitely better than ref-array/ref-hash/ref-scalar	[reply]

Do you know where your variables are?
