( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
It's a limitation rather than a bug. By the time perl discovers that it has an uninitialised value, it has already executed a whole series of ops (pad variable load, deref, hash lookup, concat) that lead up to that point. I added the facility in 5.10.0 where at that point it backs up, searches back through the optree, and tries to figure out what was executed and what triggered loading the uninit value. This is based on a "reasonable effort", and is by no means comprehensive, as that would involve huge complexity.

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.
