Re: What is this "Do you need to predeclare croak" about?

[syphilis]

Hi,

In answer to the question asked in the subject line, this is just the standard response to an unknown symbol followed by a string:

C:\>perl -le "rubbish 'foo';"
String found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "rubbish 'foo'
+"
        (Do you need to predeclare rubbish?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "rubbish 'foo'"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks. I understood this so far. I had no better idea for the subject line.

Best regards, Karl
