With a nod to
Crackers2 above, who pointed out
perl -MO=Deparse, here is a sort of "
meta" program, which tries 'deparsing' ...
my $check = m/$mystrings[N]/;
... on incrementing values of N:
#! /usr/bin/perl -w

my $iam = basename $0;
$| = 1;
my $b_verbose = 0;
my $text = q{

my @mystrings = ( "string" ) x 200;
my $check = m/$mystrings[<NUM>]/;
};

sub try {
my ($n) = @_;
my $new = $text;
$new =~ s/<NUM>/$n/g;
my $fn = 'test.pl';
my $fh = new IO::File($fn, "w") or die "Can't write '$fn' ($!)\n";
print $fh "$new\n";
close $fh;
chomp(my @results = `perl -MO=Deparse $fn 2>&1`);
my ($check) = grep { /check/ } @results;
my $b_ok = ($check =~ /my \$check = \$mystrings\[\d+\]/)? 1: 0;
if ($b_verbose) {
printf "Value %4d => %s\n", $n, $b_ok? "Okay": "*** FAILS ***"
+;
} else {
printf "%s", $b_ok? '.': '@';
}
}
It prints '.' or '@' for "Okay" and "Failed" values of N, respectively.
You can also assign $b_verbose to a nonzero value to see more verbose results :)
