[Fun With Perl] A Very Important Question

[Tushar Samant <tushar@i-works.com>]

What do you call $_?

Does the Camel book call it something, like it calls "{}" Larry and Moe?
I don't have it here.

I am provisionally calling it "bottom". But the reason is so I can say:

    $$_ =~ y/0/1/; bless $_; #bless thee, Bottom, thou art translated!

A co-employee in my work-environment with Perl5 skill-set calls it "dude",
and says that this "bottom" nonsense is annoying and dumb.

Since both of us are ISO9000-compliant, Y2K-resilient, and 100% object-
oriented, the only way I can win the argument is by claiming that I am 
infinitely scalable. But I don't want to lie.

Could the community of this portal settle our human-resource crisis and
resolve the deadlock in our software development cycle? Certified experts
only, please...

Thanks,
