perl - 调用ref没有返回任何内容

Question

有人可以解释为什么调用ref没有返回任何东西？

[pista@HP-PC ~]$ perl -wlae '$var=1; print ref($var)'

[pista@HP-PC ~]$ perl -wlae '@var=1; print ref(@var)'

[pista@HP-PC ~]$ perl -v

我做错了什么？

Answer 1

来自perldoc -f ref:

ref EXPR
ref     Returns a non-empty string if EXPR is a reference, the empty
        string otherwise. 

您的值是标量和数组,它们不是引用,因此ref返回空字符串.如果你这样做:

print ref \$var;

你会得到输出: SCALAR
