A typeglob *foo holds references to the contents of global variables with that name: $foo, @foo, $foo, &foo, etc. You can access it like an hash and assign to manipulate the symbol tables directly (evil!). use v5.10; # necessary for say our $foo = "foo"; our $bar; say ref *foo{SCAL...

open(my $fh, '<', "/some/path") or die $!; my @ary = <$fh>; When evaluated in list context, the diamond operator returns a list consisting of all the lines in the file (in this case, assigning the result to an array supplies list context). The line terminator is retained, and ...

Related to Monads are F# computation expressions (CE). A programmer typically implements a CE to provide an alternative approach to chaining Monads, ie instead of this: let v = m >>= fun x -> n >>= fun y -> return_ (x, y) You can write this: let v = ce { let! x = m ...

In Emacs, file has the same meaning as in the operating system, and is used for permanent storage of data. A buffer is the internal representation of a file being edited.

For...Next Using the iterator variable as the index number is the fastest way to iterate the elements of an array: Dim items As Variant items = Array(0, 1, 2, 3) Dim index As Integer For index = LBound(items) To UBound(items) 'assumes value can be implicitly converted to a String: D...

An anonymous function is, as the name implies, not assigned a name. This can be useful when the function is a part of a larger operation, but in itself does not take much place. One frequent use-case for anonymous functions is within the *apply family of Base functions. Calculate the root mean squ...

Simple one-liners may be specified as command line arguments to perl using the -e switch (think "execute"): perl -e'print "Hello, World!\n"' Due to Windows quoting rules you can't use single-quoted strings but have to use one of these variants: perl -e"print qq(Hello, W...
