my $x :Int = VALUE is exactly the sugar I want. I use
my ($text, $page) = split "\t", $line;
in my addpdfbookmark.pl tool, $line is got from ocr, set '9O' to '90', I was very confused when
warn $text, ' on page ', $page, ' must be wrong' if $page < $lastpage;
was triggered, I have to write a valid subroutine,
sub valid($){ my ($text, $page) = split "\t", shift; $page =~ /^\d+$/ or die 'page not numbers'; warn $text, ' on page ', $page, ' must be wrong' if $page < $lastp +age; $lastpage = $page; return ($text, $page); }
, It's better to declare it as an integer, But I got 'Invalid SCALAR attribute' error, use what can make it work?
