Re^5: strange list operator

That's because you used literals, so the range operator is expanded at compile time. If you used

my $max = 2e7;
my @aa = 1 .. $max;
my @bb = 1 .. $max;

You'd get no error, as the lists are expanded at runtime and immediately thrown away.

Thanks!! your replies perfectly answer my question. I can't still believe perl list assignment has the flaw/bug like this though. I will use list assignment at runtime at most. I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction	[reply]

"...a bug with my car" `karls-mac-mini:~ karl$ perl -E "my @aa = 1..20_000_000; my @bb = 1..20 +_000_000;" karls-mac-mini:~ karl$` [download] My prompt is back after some seconds and nothing weird happened. I guess that means i got a big car. Best regards, Karl «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe»	[reply] [d/l]
