in thread Opinion: where Perl5 wasn't attractive for me

Bad idea!

Who does the work on an editor (which editor(s)?) to:

  1. "prepend" the "my" to vars
  2. to make the programmer's intended choice among "my," "our" and "local"
    ... and
  3. to distinguish between a new global $var and one in a sub in which a $var gets localized?

Most of us find it possible to write code without too much agita over Perl's (sometimes idiosyncratic) tools that help us achieve our intent in/with the finished script.


This is a no-whining zone (well, we'd like it to be a no-whining zone!
