Ok, I have a package named Bob that looks like this:
package Bob;
my $thingy = {One => 1, Two => 2};
sub doit {
my $key = '{One}';
eval "print \"thingy one is \$thingy->$key\n\"";
#my $x = $thingy;
}
1;
And I use it in a program like so:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Bob;
Bob->doit();
I get the following when I run the program:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at (eval 1)
+line 1.
thingy one is
However, if I uncomment the "my $x" line in Bob.pm, it works fine:
thingy one is 1
I'm assuming this is a bug in perl. Is it fixed in 5.8.8?
I'm running perl 5.8.6 under Linux (FC4).
Thanks!

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).
