I've been trying to understand program 6.21 in the Perl Cookbook, which changes URLs 
to html links
 here's a snippet:

 #!/usr/bin/perl

 $urls = '{http|telnet|gopher|file|wais|ftp');
 $ltrs = '\w';
 $gunk = '/#~:.?+=&%!\-';
 $punc = '.:?@\-';
 $any = "${ltrs}${gunk}${punc}";

 I understand what $any is, but
 what exactly is ${ltrs}  or ${gunk}  ??
 is this an anonymous hash

 thanks for any help,
 Pam
