Subject: Perl thinks "$ VARIABLE" is "$VARIABLE"
Reply-To: petersonp@genrad.com
This is a bug report for perl from petersonp@genrad.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00503.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
Given the following simple test:
% perl -e '$OS="foo"; print "$ OS,$OS\n"'
foo,foo
I would have expected the output to be '$ OS,foo'
I discovered this when I had a script with a here document containing
the line:
----
$ OS($treeout) OL($treeout) FLAGFAIL;
---
When it printed out, the "$ OS" was missing. I fixed it, of course, by
backslashing the dollar-sign, and did the above tiny test to understand
how Perl was interpreting this.
Is this a bug? Is there something in TFM that I should R to understand
this behavior? Note that either 'print $ VAR' or 'print "$ VAR"' act
this way. 'print % VAR' and 'print @ VAR' are similar whereas
'print "% VAR"' and 'print "@ VAR"' interpret the @/% literally.
