( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Still probably not what you are looking for (i.e. no refs)

The refs were only a half-arsed attempt to get thing to work when I suspected that the @_ aliasing was responsible for "undo" my changes--a total wrong guess!

And, your post has moved me along considerably. Your insight of using the same substr as an lvalue into which to assign the return from the recusion--with the same parameters as are used to supply the substring to that level of recursion is (I think) the solution.

I've put that into the real code and it gets me closer to the desired result. At this stage, the rest of the problem appears to down to my selecting the correct substring--ie. a completely different part of the problem.

So thankyou. Very much.


Examine what is said, not who speaks.
Silence betokens consent.
Love the truth but pardon error.

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.
