Re^4: Dereference inside a regex

[tobias_hofer]

I am using strict, warnings and diagnostics - always.

package MTA::Profile_ARM;
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use MTA::MapFileScientist;
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA);
$VERSION = 1.0;
@ISA     = qw(MTA::MapFileScientist);



my $ProfileInformation = {
    'StartLine'    => 1,
    'ObjAvailable' => 1,
    'Compiler'     => 'ARM',
    'RAMMapping'   => {
        'RW Data' => 1,
        'ZI Data' => 1,
    },
    'ROMMapping' => {
        'Code'        => 1,
        '(inc. data)' => 1,
        'RO Data'     => 1,
    }
};



sub AnalyseMapFile {
    my $self                  = shift;
    my $MapFile               = $self->{MAPFILEINFO}{MAPFILECONTENT};
    my $PlaceToPutInformation = $self->{MEMORYMAP};
    $self->{MAPFILEINFO}{ProfileInformation} = $ProfileInformation;
    my $memory_section = '';
    my $state          = 0;
    my $memory_size = 0;
    my $state_symbol = {
        1 => 'Image component sizes',
        2 => '      Code \(inc\. data\)   RO Data    RW Data    ZI Dat
+a      Debug   Object Name',
    };

    #Each config profile defines its own way how to parse the map-file
+.

    #Process map-file
    for (
        my $iterator = $ProfileInformation->{'StartLine'} ;
        $iterator < @$MapFile ;
        $iterator++
      )
    {
        chomp($MapFile->[$iterator]);
        next if (! $MapFile->[$iterator]);
        if (( $state == 0 )
            &&
            ( $MapFile->[$iterator] =~m/$MTA::Profile_ARM::state_symbo
+l->{'1'}/))
        {
...

However, it is still not working..
as soon as I got the issue I will post here what has been
the root-cause.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers

Update
I have changed the regex from $MTA::Profile_ARM::state_symbol->{'1'} to $state_symbol->{'1'} and its now working fine, without any shouting for not initialized values and stuff. This is because $state_symbol is a function-local scalar, so you cannot refer to it by giving the package-path. This has been the root-cause - quite simple.

Using strict was showing me at the beginning that I had a typo, it was telling me that $state_smybol was not defined. My mistake has been, that I have not got that its been a typo and extended the scalar by full path to package. Thus I got a different error and I have made things worse by not correctly reading the error msg - sorry for that !
