Jump to Postvariables always change when you redefine them or use operators or functions on them. Not sure what your question is.
Jump to PostI don't know how to do that in perl or why you would even need to do it but I assume you know why and have a legitimate reason. Maybe someone else will know.

Actually a variable will stay in register for a while and then be put in memory..I need the memory location to change immediately when I change the variable.(Like volatile variable in C)

I would suggest searching www.cpan.org for some memory management module that might provide this functionality. Even if it is possible from straight perl, it is probably complicated or convoluted and a module from CPAN would probably make it a bit simpler to use (or at least let you study it to find out how to do it on your own).
