Re: Sorting array, getting modification of read-only value error

I suspect autovivification.

Minimal example:

use strict;
use warnings;
my @sorted = sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } (undef, undef, undef);

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

I think I get what you are trying to say, but I can print out the array with no problems, so the whole thing should be defined, correct? So I am not sure how I would go about fixing this.	[reply]

You can print out undefined values. (Though if you have warnings enabled, that kind of behaviour will earn you one.) I'm not entirely sure how you'd fix it. Some self-contained code which doesn't rely on files from your system that I don't have on my computer might help. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply]
