dollar sign


a symbol that hundreds of moronic linux users, open source advocates, and ted danson use as the s in the abbreviation “ms” (microsoft).
this guy came up to me on the street and said “why are you using m$ winblows, when you could spend hours compiling free programs that won’t work on your system!”. the reason i know he used a dollar sign instead of an s, was because he said “m-dollar sign”. the conversation may have also been closed-captioned.

in perl version 5, a dollar sign before a name shows that the variable access will return a scalar (single value). this is important when accessing an array or hash, as using the % or @ funny character in front of them will result in an array or hash containing one element, which is usually not what you want.

perl detractors (mostly f-gs who use python) call this a flaw in perl, or say it makes the code look ugly, or like line noise. they’re idiots.
$foo{asdf} is not the same as %foo{asdf}.
