In computer programming, a sigil (pronounced /ˈsɪdʒəl/ or /ˈsɪɡəl/; plural sigilia or sigils) is a symbol attached to a variable name, showing the variable's datatype or scope. In 1999 Philip Gwyn adopted the term "to mean the funny character at the front of a Perl variable". The name is based on the word meaning a magical symbol (see sigil (magic)).
