I once wrote one of these before for @NegativeMjark but I think I lost it. So here's another.

All you need to know is:

• $foo is a scalar (i.e. a single dimensional variable)
• @foo is an array. $foo[n] is the element of an array.
• %foo is a hash. $foo{'moo'} aka $foo{moo} is the value in the hash for key 'foo'.
• \ is the reference operator. it returns a scalar which points to the address of the variable (like & in C).
• (1, 2, 3) is a list. (an array is a variable which contains a list).
• [1, 2, 3] (rarely: \(1,2,3)) is a reference to a list - aka arrayref
• $foo->[n] gives an element of an arrayref
