Re: Blackslash confusion and newlines

The following is NOT intended to sound as bad as it will. :)

Perl cheat-sheet

#!/usr/bin/perl

# I hate the cryptic words Perl usually chooses
use Modern::Perl;
use strict; # ALWAYS
# Let Perl inform me if I might be doing something wrong
use warnings;
# I hate to read the fine Perl documentation
# either I'm too lazy, or it makes my head spin
# But I understand Perl will tell me what to do if I
use diagnostics;

# my code follows
{...}

Doesn't Modern::Perl imply strict and warnings, anyway? Your comment (first line) seems to hint that you meant English	[reply]

Indeed it does (implement strictures). But was used for a different reason -- `qw(say); \| feature say;`, in this case. Meaning it had "friendlier" names for print, and such. I might also add, it's a great shortcut for many other "features", as well. :) --Chris UPDATE I probably should have expressed it as: `use Modern::Perl qw(say);` Ąλɐp ʇɑəɹ⅁ ɐ əʌɐɥ puɐ ʻꜱdləɥ ꜱᴉɥʇ ədoH	[reply]
