        When in doubt, ask perl.

> open OUT, "thefile"; 

        perldoc -f open, perldoc perlopentut


> 3. For the following snippet of code, is array2 created as a reference to
> array1? 
> @array1 = @array2; 

        perldoc perldata, perldoc perlreftut, perldoc perlref


> 4. Does the following snippet of code define a valid hash? 
> %myhash = ("1", "Steve", 
> "2", "Bob",

$ perl -wc <<EOT
%myhash = ("1", "Steve",
