Why is the following snippet producing a 'syntax error'?
Note: I know it may not be logical to assign one key, 10 different values one after the other, but a syntax error? Note also that both of these are legal:
But this also isn't "legal syntax" (regardless of whether you use qq// or ""), even though it is logical.
So this isn't just a case of over-zealous code policing? It woudn't be quite so bad if it didn't point you at the wrong part of the statement as the source of the error. Perl 5.8.4 (AS810). Examine what is said, not who speaks.
