Scalar Variables in Perl: Valid Naming Conventions and Syntax

Which of the following is a valid scalar variable in Perl?A) _Variable 5B) $Variable_5C) $variable#5D) $5th_variable

B) $Variable_5

The answer would be option B) $Variable_5.

In Perl, a scalar variable always starts with the dollar sign ($) followed by a letter or underscore. It can contain digits too but they cannot be the first character in the variable name. Therefore, option A and D are not valid scalar variable names.

Option C uses “#” which is not allowed in Perl variable names. It is used as a comment symbol in Perl to comment out code.

Therefore, the only valid scalar variable name from the given options is B) $Variable_5.
