What is a glob variable?

[perlster]

Hi.....

I ran across this example code the other day

sub my_sub(*some_var);

Where in perldoc would I find documentation
on this *some_var? TIA....

perldoc perldata, and look for "typeglob". Or wait for Ferry Bolhar's
extensive perlglobtut, but that will be a while.

There's a chapter in Advanced Perl Programming (First Edition) that
explains typeglobs, and I've recreated most of that for _Mastering
Perl_:
