in reply to print (...) interpreted as function

I just send [sic] the following letter to p5p

Thank you for letting us know.

Please note that it is not necessary to post a copy of your letter here. There are web archives of p5p, so people can already read the message in their browsers.

Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }

    Not necessary, but not useless either. I wonder how many users/visitors at PM don't have the p5p mail list or web archives as part of their day-to-day regimen... (I'm one such.) It's nice to have a little reverberation among the various centers of perl activity, and I'm grateful for it.

      If they want to read p5p, they can read p5p. P5P posts are not PM posts, and do not belong on PM for that reason. I'm not posting #perlhelp stuff here, and fortunately, I haven't seen PM stuff on p5p yet.

    I fully agree with graff's comment. I don't regularly peruse p5p, and its nice to have somebody bring potentially important stuff to my attention here, where I come daily.

      Read the weekly summaries on use Perl if you want to know what's going on. Note that Abigail's message is not Perl news, but just a re-post of a message to a mailing list. Of course, when any decision is made, a message in Perl News is in place.

        Exactly. I didn't post it here to let people know what's going on on p5p. That's what mailinglists and archives are for. Nor did I post a patch. I was hoping it would spark some discussion about whether the it's a good idea to remove the warning or not. Unfortunally, all it did start was a meta-discussion.
