From petersonp@genrad.com

Created by petersonp@genrad.com

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.

I see a perlbug@​perl.com there​:

  % nslookup -query=mx perl.com | grep exch
  perl.com preference = 0, mail exchanger = mail.perl.com

  % ssh mail.perl.com grep perlbug /etc/aliases
  perlbug​: perlbug@​perl.org
  perlbugs​: perlbug@​perl.org

I don't know why it should have failed. Wait, that was back
when I lost the disk. It wasn't all back up yet.
