Re: Off by one key... or yet another example of why strict and warnings are always a good idea (even for "one-liners")

in reply to Off by one key... or yet another example of why strict and warnings are always a good idea (even for "one-liners")

Coincidentally there was a p5p thread just this morning about an additional option to do just this (strict + warnings for oneliners; the original suggestion was a unicode -ǝ or -Ǝ).

the original suggestion was a unicode -ǝ or -Ǝ That was a joke, right? I don't know about you but there's no way that I'm going to be able to find the codepoint for that symbol and then work out the right combination of keys to press to generate it for any given combination of keyboard+shell+term+OS in a shorter space of time than it takes to type `-Mstrict -w`	[reply] [d/l]

Quite (I had to cheat and use the OS X Symbol menu to get them when I typed them above and it still took a minute to scroll to the E's). I think later in the thread saner (or perhaps, less facetious) heads were prevailing and going over free ASCII option characters and maybe `-[Zz]` being available. The cake is a lie.

the original suggestion was a unicode -ǝ or -Ǝ Bad idea. There are still many ASCII letters left in perlrun. perl isn't ls. And most people, including me, don't know from memory how to enter -ǝ or -Ǝ. Using perl should be easy, not hard. How about using the unused "-r" (as in run), making `perl -r 'say "hi"'` the shorter equivalent of `perl -Mstrict -w -E 'say "hi"'`?

Re^2: Off by one key... or yet another example of why strict and warnings are always a good idea (even for "one-liners") oneliners needing strict shouldnt be oneliners, dont mess with perlrun by Anonymous Monk on Jul 19, 2019 at 03:06 UTC
oneliners needing strict shouldn't be oneliners anynore Anytime I want strict/warnings in a oneliner, what I really want, is to turn oneliner into a program file dont mess with perlrun there are a bazillion ways to do this already use y, perl5 ToolSet Syntax::Collector Toolkit rig see perlrun#PERL5OPT , PERLLIB, PERL5LIB sitecustomize under perlrun#* f*	[reply]
