Re^2: Propose addition to use warnings?

Hi Corion,

The way I understood perldigious' post is that the usage of the filehandle in my_sub is very rare, so more like warn sprintf "At offset %d: %s", tell $this_fh, $line if rand()<0.0001;, which makes the issue much harder to detect.

Yes, thanks for clarifying for me haukex. Corion is correct, there is a warning provided when the filehandle is attempted to be used by the subroutine, but that is a very rare occurrence due to an `if` it happens to be wrapped in, and to my shame, my test data didn't properly exercise that part of my code to make sure it was working when I wrote it (an oversight on my part). Just another Perl hooker - will code for food	[reply] [d/l]
