perl允许你用任何标点符号作为定界符。常用的写法有：
#!usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
=pod
my @arr = ("fred", "barney", "betty", "wilma", "dino");
my @arr = qw(fred barney betty wilma dino);#同上，但更简洁，也更少键入
my @arr = qw! fred barney betty wilma dino!;
my @arr = qw/ fred barney betty wilma dino/;
my @arr = qw# fred barney betty wilma dino#;
my @arr = qw{ fred barney betty wilma dino};
my @arr = qw[ fred barney betty wilma dino];
=cut
my @arr = qw< fred barney betty wilma dino>;
for(my $i = 0; $i < @arr; $i++){

print $arr[$i]."\n";
}

输出：
fred
barney
betty
wilma
dino

互换两者的值
#!usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $a = "apple";
my $b = "banana";
=pod
my $c = $a;
$a = $b;
$b = $c;
=cut;
($a, $b) = ($b, $a);
print "变量a: ".$a."\n变量b: ".$b;

输出：
变量a: banana
变量b: apple

4.6.2 思考题
1) 如果要将$ a和$ b这两个标量变量中包含的值进行交换，哪个方法最有效？
a. $a=$b；
b. （$a，$b）=（$b，$a）；
c. $c=$a；$a = $b；$b = $c；
2) 语句$a = scalar（@array）；将什么赋值给变量$a？
a. @array中的元素的数量;
b. @array的最后一个元素的索引;
c. 该语句无效。
