Rookie mistake missing those $. I think that python is different. One of the advantages of Perl for me is that it's more forgiving.This can suck sometimes especially if your trying to keep your code error proof. I've programmed for 3 years now. Its heavily impacted my thoughts. Often when giving directions I'll find myself self slipping into python pseudocode, "if you see the store turn right" or "while your on this road look for_." These are of course minor phrasing changes but not what I would have said before I knew python. Perl is refreshing because it seems to conform to how I think, not force me to think like it.
- bonemachine 13y agoSlight correction: the "missing" $ were from the original post, and as I understood from the context at the time, were meant as pseudo-code. Now, as to the fact that sigils basically don't bring all that much to Perl, are weird and distracting to newcomers and at the end of the day create as many problems as they solve... let's not go there, for now.
