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

Thanks, ikegami. As I mentioned in Re^2: RFC: Tutorial: use strict; now what!?, I'm already replacing the generic, abstract error with concrete examples. But sorry, I'm not willing to discuss (with my target audience) which portions of error output stem from which source or which phase of compilation or execution. We're splashing around in the very shallow end of the pool.

Agree that my explanation of bareword is a little too loose. But I'd rather not introduce the term 'identifier' since that would only require yet another definition. The definition of bareword given in perldata is a tad too formal and perhaps even misleading:

A word that has no other interpretation in the grammar will be treated as if it were a quoted string.

I don't pretend to have a better explanation up my sleeve than what I've given so far; but I'm working on it.

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.
