RE: RE: Re: Perl Safety

Ugh. So you're telling me you've got bad code? No amount of Perl Safety will help you.

If $x and $y and $z are in their package, you're safe. If you're telling me you're not using packages, quit, no matter how much fun it is. {grin}

Hrmmm... well the engineer actually put everything in a package, but for some reason has no idea about returning hashes or something... Actually what scares me mostly about this guy is that he claims he writes faster code in Perl than in C. So either he is a Perl god (which I think I can rule out already) or he is an even worse programmer in C than in Perl. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions... I'll just make sure to change my variables over to 'my' and protect myself as best I can. Maybe I'll just continue to bug my boss to let me take over this guy's project anyway. Any time I ask him to do something it doesn't get done until it's convenient for him... and then it's all 'huzzah I've implemented this amazing feature that I just realized our group needed' :P	[reply]
