( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

There is only one $_ in your program and you did use it for two different purposes. One has to be careful sometimes with Perl's build-in variables.

From "Modern Perl", page 7: http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/modern_perl_a4.pdf

As English gets confusing when you have too many pronouns and antecedents, you must take care mixing uses of $_ implicitly or explicitly. Uncautious simultaneous use of $_ may lead to one piece of code silently overwriting the value written by another. If you write a function which uses $_, you may clobber a caller function's use of $_.

UPDATE: In order to make your script more robust overall, you might also want to remove $_ from your outer loop.

foreach my $regex (@regexes){ ($fileBodyMatch, $decode ) = checkFileBody ($file, $regex->{bodyre +gex}); }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
