$ perl -c -e ' my $c_ref; $c_ref[0] = "foo"' -e syntax OK

The moral is that you should always use warnings and strict. But, even if you don't (or can't), $c_ref[0] is still obviously wrong if you're looking at code following the HungDamian naming convention.

(Personally, I think we should come up with a better name than that - Damian may like this one too much. And his publicist may not ;-})

PS - I'm not attempting to convert anyone to this style of naming. I don't use it myself, and I'm not sure I'm going to start, either. Someone asked why Damian would have suggested this, and I answered. Personally, if I were to start, it'd be using an 'r' prefix rather than a '_ref' suffix.

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.
