Perl executes comments?
Code:
print $_->{s-var} = 1;

# WTF? - Turn your head 90 degrees left to see the smiley face! :-} = 'Paul';

Can anyone tell me what that code prints?...Yogi is not included. This is code originally by someone else but I've modified it for this little demo.

Something to do with the } in the comment? Unsure

Paul, I have absolutely no idea how that works. Please, please can you explain to me? I am trying to learn and you're confusing me.

Here's a hint, look carefully at the middle line Wink

Code:
$buf = "abcdefghijklmnop";
$buf =~ s-f-[haha! I'm replacing this letter!]-;
print $buf;

Hmm. That's very cunning, only the construct >{ on the first "line" is very beyond me. What is it?
