in thread print (...) interpreted as function

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.

      Next time, please let us know your intentions. This can be as simple as "I'd like to know what you think about this issue", as long as it's not in the re-post itself, but in the text around it. I thought you were just drawing attention to your plea by posting it in several locations.

        I thought that was obvious from the fact it was posted in Meditations and not Perl News.

        I would add something insightful in this reply but you didn't specifically ask for my opinion, so I won't. Please let me know in your post next time what your intentions are.

        Some things are implied :)
