Strings and numbers are transparently converted; and null-terminated
perl strings are rare thing indeed.  (Btw, that should be "\0", not
'0', above.)
But ref types are strongly enforced; that's why I usually do

	$some_sr = \$s;
	$some_ar = \@a;
	$some_hr = \%h;

I think the postfix "hungarian" is much more nicer.

Well, *I* mind; it should actually be

	is_ace_file()
