This is called symbolik link.

ex:  ROSE-> FLOWER.

That is wen we want to read ROSE file in Hard disk it will direct it to FLOWER file.

Though we thought of reading ROSE file...We will be ending up reading the content of Flower file.

Arrow operator -> is used for deferencing references to array or hash.

$arr = ['1','2','3','4'];

To retrive the value of first element :
$val = $arr->[1];
Now variable $var will contain '2'.

In object oriented PERL, the arrow -> symbol is used for creating or
accessing a particular object of a class.

For eg. in Perl/Tk

1. use Tk;
my $main_win = MainWindow->new();
Here we use -> to create a new object of the class MainWindow which belongs to
the package Tk.

2. $main_win->configure(-title => "Use of arrow symbol");
Here we use -> to access the 'configure' object of the class MainWindow and
assign a title to it.
