Numerical or string value or reference or blessed reference (object) are
all specified as "$" in function prototyping. Read "perldoc perlsub",
under Prototypes secion. But you may want to start from less a advanced
documentation.

You can't say it does not work. Works as expected. See my first message.

This works too, just for a different case. Did not you run the example
from my first message?

/.../ evaluates regular expression, and qr/.../ operator returns
something between a regular string and an object. Read "perldoc perlop"
under Regexp Quote-Like Operators section.

I would suggest you to take some time with the perl interpreter and the
documentation before asking more questions. :)

Mikhael.
