( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

B::Deparse can help:

$ perl -wMstrict -MO=Deparse sub find_symbol { got to here today } __END__ BEGIN { $^W = 1; } use strict; sub find_symbol { 'to'->got('today'->here); } - syntax OK $ perl -wMstrict -MO=Deparse sub find_symbol { I got to here today } __END__ Bareword "today" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at - line 2. - had compilation errors. BEGIN { $^W = 1; } use strict; sub find_symbol { 'got'->I('here'->to('today')); }

So the first one is just the Indirect Object Syntax, twice, while the second one assumes an extra parameter, and when that's a number it's fine; when it's a bareword it's not (under strict, at least). It just depends on whether the number of barewords is even or odd :-)

$ perl -wMstrict -MO=Deparse -e 'sub x { foo bar }' BEGIN { $^W = 1; } use strict; sub x { 'bar'->foo; } -e syntax OK $ perl -wMstrict -MO=Deparse -e 'sub x { foo bar quz }' Bareword "quz" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at -e line 1. -e had compilation errors. BEGIN { $^W = 1; } use strict; sub x { 'bar'->foo('quz'); } $ perl -wMstrict -MO=Deparse -e 'sub x { foo bar quz baz }' BEGIN { $^W = 1; } use strict; sub x { 'bar'->foo('baz'->quz); } -e syntax OK $ perl -wMstrict -MO=Deparse -e 'sub x { foo bar quz baz bleep }' Bareword "bleep" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at -e line 1. -e had compilation errors. BEGIN { $^W = 1; } use strict; sub x { 'bar'->foo('baz'->quz('bleep')); }

None of the code actually runs, of course :-)

BTW, maybe you want to use the "Yada Yada operator" (...) for unfinished code? (Perl v5.12 and up)

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.
