Re: Problem with accessing hash Module::CoreList::version with $]

[Anonymous Monk]

How are you comparing? Visually? That is a bad idea ;)

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Module::CoreList;


print qq{
$Module::CoreList::version{ $] } 
$Module::CoreList::version{ "$]" }
$Module::CoreList::version{ 5.010000 }

};
__END__
HASH(0x1a97888)
HASH(0x1a97888)
HASH(0x1a97888)

See how they all reference the same hash? They're all the same

pmvers Module::CoreList
2.17

If I run your script with 5.8.8, I get the output

HASH(0x96574a4) 
HASH(0x96574a4)
HASH(0x9628550)

For 5.10.0, I get

Use of uninitialized value within %Module::CoreList::version in concat
+enation (.) or string at test.pl line 7.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at test.pl l
+ine 7.

 

HASH(0x84c82b8)

Module::CoreList is version 2.15.

Update: For the 5.10.0 case, Module::CoreList's version is 2.13.

I get the same with with 5.8.8, works as expected.
