# Restrictions on Loop-variable Names
#
# Due to a bug in most versions of Text::Balanced,
# loop-variable names that look like Perl operators,
# including $m, $a, $s, $y, $tr, $qq, $qw, $qr, $qx
# and possibly others, cause syntax errors.

# are these restrictions fixed ?

select $a (@ARGV) { print "$a\n"; }

select $tr (@ARGV) { print "$tr\n"; }
