No, that isn't what I was saying, and you're mixing separate concepts
together.  A lexical variable can be a reference.  You can have a
reference to a lexical variable.  They are not opposing things.

The p5p references already posted in this thread are the best place to
read up if you want more information about the memory behavior of
Perl's garbage collection.
