You are right in that a space should probably not be there. However, it
is legal and exhibits Perl's very odd lexer-rules. You can write:
$
foo
=
"bar";
print $foo;
__END__
bar
It's probably only useful for obfuscated Perl contests. And this is
totally mad:
$
# a comment between the sigil and the variable name!!
foo = "bar";
print $foo;
__END__
bar
