# PERL reset Function

## Syntax

reset EXPR reset

## Definition and Usage

Resets (clears) all package variables starting with the letter range specified by EXPR. Generally only used within a continue block or at the end of a loop. If omitted, resets ?PATTERN? matches.

Variables that have been declared using the my() function will not be reset.

Using reset() can reset system variables you may not want to alter-like the ARGV and ENV variables.

## Return Value

- always 1

## Example

Try out following example:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

    my $var = 10;
    $van = 5;

    print "Var value =$var, Van value =$van\n";
    # Now reste all variables who name starts with 'v'
    reset('v');
    print "Var value =$var, Van value =$van\n";

It will produce following results:

    Var value =10, Van value =5
    Var value =10, Van value =
