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

After any eval, you should check to see whether it failed or not. Right after yours, I slipped in this line:

die $@ if $@;

It's also useful when debugging to print out the string you're trying to eval in case it has an obvious error. Here's the string you're using:

use Time::HiResqw(gettimeofday tv_interval)

...so I stuck a space in this line:

$str .= ' qw(' . $args . ')' if $args ne '1'";

The error you get about "gettimeofday" and "strict subs" is because you've told Perl that the bareword "gettimeofday" is a function call rather than just some string. If Time::HiRes doesn't load, you'll still get another error:

Undefined subroutine &main::gettimeofday called at ...

If Time::HiRes does load, "gettimeofday" without the parentheses is fine because—I'm guessing a little here—it has a prototype.

Anyway, always check your evals.

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.
