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

Thank you to all monks for the help provided!

With your help I have identified the problem which actually was me trying to store away the captured groups into an aray $m instead of @m. Th eonly thing I do not get yet is why perl is not complaining with an error regarding a statement like "$m=($1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7)", What does this mean to perl if $ is used instead of @ for m ?

Many thanks also for all indirect answers and informational hints like the deparser, and others. These did extend my horizont and pointed me to what to investigate next (like regex modifiers, etc...)

One other question, is perldoc officially available somewhere in PDF ? Wikipedia claims that the perldoc site would have links for PDF download but I could not find these. All I could find (right now) is a PDF with the complete doc of perl 5.8.5 on perl.mines-albi.fr

Many thanks,
Gaston

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.
