Greetings,

Winnt, AS 5.6.1 631.
Using -w i get:

Name "main::capture(5)" used only once: possible typo at strange.pl li
+ne 15.
Use of uninitialized value in eval "string" at strange.pl line 15.

No eval        :1
In str eval    :1
In block eval  :1
Block Eval ret :1
Str Eval ret   :0
[download]

WTF? regardless of the warning, the given example runs under strict 'refs'. If I use eval "readonly(5)->[0]" it stops complaining (but still the results are wrong.
And the "Block eval ret" thing sets $@ to

Modification of a read-only value attempted at strange.pl line 4.
[download]

Uh?
Cheers,
alf

You can't have everything: where would you put it?

• 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.
