Sweeeeet! Thanks a bunch.
Do you have a good reference which explains this? I've looked in both
the Camel and Llama books, but didn't see the @$ construct anywhere.
basically it's shorthand for the more obvious and well documented
@{$reference} notation.
great detail on this can be found in the perldocs: perlreftut perlref
perldsc and perllol
Personally I feel the shorthand way makes it slightly more difficult WRT
maintenance. Fine for one-offs but for long term multiline code, the
long form would likely be preferable as it makes it easier to see just
exactly what's going on there.
