Re^5: Newline's creep in, while using Tie::File

In addition to what has already been said...

• Use strict warnings and diagnostics or die
• Use strict and warnings
• Always use strict and use warnings
• Modern::Perl

Looking at Modern::Perl I am beginning to see how much I don't know!

I thought I was a reasonably competent Perl programmer having written a lot of functional code including a small amount of OO Perl - but just 3 days here is giving me other ideas.

From the first link...
"Initially using strict is a pain."

That explains exactly why, until now, I have not used it...
note that I said "until now". The power of persuasion has worked :P
