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

hmmm.. what am I doing wrong here? (perl, v5.8.0 built for i686-linux)

]$ perl -wMstrict -e"if( my($test) = 0 ) { print 'Passed'; } else { pr +int 'Failed'; }" Can't declare stub in "my" at -e line 1, near ") =" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. ]$ perl -wMstrict -e"if( my($test) = '' ) { print 'Passed'; } else { p +rint 'Failed'; }" Can't declare stub in "my" at -e line 1, near ") =" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. ]$ perl -wMstrict -e"if( my($test) = undef ) { print 'Passed'; } else +{ print 'Failed'; }" Can't declare stub in "my" at -e line 1, near ") =" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. ]$ perl -wMstrict -e "if( my $test = undef ) { print 'Passed'; } else +{ print 'Failed'; }" syntax error at -e line 1, near "my =" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

I had to swap "/' to get it to run..

]$ perl -wMstrict -e 'if( my ($test) = undef ) { print "Passed"; } els +e { print "Failed"; }' Passed ]$ perl -wMstrict -e 'if( my $test = undef ) { print "Passed"; } else +{ print "Failed"; }' Failed

cheers,

J

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.
