Path: utzoo!attcan!uunet!husc6!uwvax!dogie!rhesus!bin From: bin@rhesus.primate.wisc.edu (Brain in Neutral) Newsgroups: comp.sources.d Subject: Perl question: what do {{ and }} mean? Message-ID: <335@rhesus.primate.wisc.edu> Date: 29 Jun 88 21:22:19 GMT Organization: UW-Madison Primate Center Lines: 10 The perl 2.0 manual contains two examples that use {{ and }} instead of { and } to bracket subroutines. One of them says to note the double curly brackets. But what do they mean? The explanation is not in the manual, or at least I can't find it.
