Oops, wrong language

[afuna]

Damn. PHP also uses @$. First thing I thought when I saw it was, "Oh neat, it's dereferencing an array reference." Then I realized a) the variable on the LHS wasn't an array, and b) I was in the wrong language.

(It's used for error control instead, which is also neat in its own way, I guess.)

(Yes, you can actually assign an arrayref to $@. I tried.)
