RE: PERL Symbol Table

The symbol table is the list of active symbols (functions variables objects) within a package. Each package has its own symbol table and with some exceptions all the identifiers starting with letters or underscores are stored within the corresponding symbol table for each package. This means that all other identifiers including all of the special punctuation-only variables such as $_ are stored within the main package.

RE: PERL Symbol Table
Symbol table is a PERL structure which contains the identifier names(like 'variable'). The identifier became actual variable ($variable @variable etc) type when it associate through typeglob.

Symbol table contains only global variables.
