So is this one of those instance where perl will do different things based on what subs are defined?
When I try:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
sub System {
print "System\n";
}
sub out {
print "out\n";
}
System.out.print("Just another perl hacker?");
I get no errors and it prints both "System" and "out"....
Update:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# comment out these two lines to change meaning of construct in main
sub System { return "SystemSub " }
sub out { return "OutSub " };
my $val = main();
print "\n'$val'\n";
sub main {
System.out.print("Just another perl hacker?");
}

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).
