Re^3: using slash?

I downloaded Slash 2.2.6 and took a quick gander at Slash.pm.

I quit reading when I got to this:

# this is the worst damned warning ever, so SHUT UP ALREADY!
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { warn @_ unless $_[0] =~ /Use of uninitialized v
+alue/ };

Talk to pudge about that one. He's of the opinion that manually initializing all of your potentially interpolatable variables to the empty string is a hassle. I see his point; most of the warnings we see in embedded code in Everything are that exact message. If you really want to complain about something, read the metamoderation code.	[reply]

I agree in certain instances as well and when those come up I feel free to do so. Though if I may ask, why don't they use the no warnings pragma for uninitilazed? Older perl? -Lee "To be civilized is to deny one's nature."	[reply]
