There is no := operator in Perl 5. In Perl 6 := is a run-time binding operator: $x = 1; $y := $x; $y = 2; Now both $x ==2 and $y == 2 In Perl 5 you use typeglob assignment to achieve the same thing: $x = 1; *y = \$x; $y = 2; Rafał Pocztarski -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
