Can qw() span lines?

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

Is it possible for qw() to span multiple lines? Something like:

use vars qw( $var1 $var2 $var3 $var4 $var5
             $var6 $var7 $var8 $var9 $var0 ) ;
[download]

And, if not, what do people usually find to be the most ( elegant | efficient | Perlish ) workarounds? Thanks for your help. My apologies in advance if this closely parallels a previous thread; I couldn't find mention of this with a search.

`use vars split(' ', <<'END'); $var1 $var2 $var3 $var4 $var5 $var6 $var7 $var8 $var9 $var0 END` [download] That's a joke, by the way. As a note, maybe what you want to do is: `our ($var1, $var2, $var3, ...);` This 'use vars' stuff is for older Perl 5 code.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well, it would seem the answer to my question is 'Yes, just like you typed, dumbass.' I was having problems that I thought were this, but now I see were obviously not. My bad. Sorry. _______________ D a m n D i r t y A p e Home Node \| Email	[reply]
