And here's my list of things to help debug your perl scripts:
- always use -w
- always run with use strict
- Data::Dumper is your friend if you think
that what's getting stored in your variables is not what
you expect it to be. stick a print Dumper($variable);
before and after the point where you think that
your problem is.
- if you think that the flow of your program
is messed up, use the perl debugger: perl -d
- try typing up an email to explain the problem to
a friend. a lot of time, in the process of typing out
an explanation, you'll find an assumption that you were
making is incorrect
what do you call the plural of a perlmonk? here's a list
from the CB the other night:
- a .. of monks
- a LoL of monks
- a hash of monks
- a glob of monks
- a pod of perlmonks
- a hack of monks
- a funk of monks
- a package of monks
- a pack of perlmonks
- a gaggle of perlmonks
- a conflict of monks
- a flock of monks
- school o' monks
- module of monks
- a Pack of JAPH's
- an array of perlmonks
