Grumble. I feared that it's something i couldn't blame Carp for. Oh well, i'll spend a couple of hours writing a Perl script that audits and fixes all my other Perl scripts and modules to make sure arguments to croak() are quoted properly.

Hmm, i could either modify an existing script (which probably has all the crud from the last 12 years) or ask ChatGPT to do it (and fix all the variable names and regular expressions). I could also write from scratch, but it's Monday and i'm not feeling THAT enthusiastic about fixing some error message handling...

PerlMonks XP is useless? Not anymore: XPD - Do more with your PerlMonks XP
