Re^2: No error from typo [was: Perl doesn't give error when module is not found]

I don't think

print( Dumperrrrrrrrrr $myvar );

helps anyone to understand what's actually going on. While the situation is more complicated in case of print, the print Dumperrrrrrrrrr $myvar; is at least syntactically the Indirect Object Syntax. If the filehandle does exist, you can think of that statement as "calling the print() method of the Dumperrrrrrr object with the parameter $myvar".

I don't think `print( Dumperrrrrrrrrr $myvar );` helps anyone to understand what's actually going on. That's why I didn't write (just) `print( Dumperrrrrrrrrr $myvar );`. And no, it's not actually an indirect method call. Or any kind of method call. It's a function (i.e. a named operator) with a funky syntax.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
