Re: ChessBoard Program

Hello catfish1116

The history of your posts always contain a lot of trivial syntax errors.

Errors of a kind one would easily spot if the code was developed step by step.

Could it be that you are manually copying the code as a whole from a printed text and ask us to spot the typos?

It is true that I am manually copying the code from a printed text. Early on, it was my own fault for not typing correctly, (those were earlier posts). My more current posts are a result of me typing exactly how the script appears in the books that I am learning from and the code not working, or if the exercises are asking to do the just one function in the program and I try to make it more robust by adding more functionality. I appreciate being part of the Perlmonk community as I find everyone on this sight extremely helpful and has helped me immensely. Thanks, Catfish	[reply]

Syntax errors (almost) always force an abort of compilation. Always test your code with `perl -c your_file.pl` after typing a new line and you'll catch most typos. Or try the Komodo IDE it'll run the compilation automatically in the background and highlight broken code.
