chazubell has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Developing on a Mac OS X 10.10 using perl 5.18 and attempting to debug this line of code: 

my $folder =  '/Users/chaz/Documents/perl/MailingList/Last.Mailing.Arc
+hive_20150218-1450/messages'; 
<\code>

<P>
This then causes the debugger, i.e. perl -d &ltfilename&gt to emit thi
+s error:
</P>

<code>
Use of uninitialized value $tid in concatenation (.) or string at /Sys
+tem/Library/Perl/5.18/perl5db.pl line 1831.

Any thoughts? I know I screwed something up. BTW: the samething happened with perl brew too.

    Try to reproduce the problem using the shortest program you can. The error message looks like the problem is with the Perl debugger, and not your code, which would be really odd. Do you have a variable $tid in your code?

      Duh me. I had had a -W on the Shebang line. Brickbats generously accepted.

    "Any thoughts?"

    Yes: My major problem is reading your strange formatted example. If i could simply read it instead of doing some reverse engineering i would fire it up on my Mac to see what happens.

      Never mind.

      Solved it.

      See my previous post.

      Thanks.
