$ perl -Mdiagnostics -e "s//1/g for 1" Modification of a read-only value attempted at -e line 1 (#1) (F) You tried, directly or indirectly, to change the value of a constant. You didn't, of course, try "2 = 1", because the compile +r catches that. But an easy way to do the same thing is: sub mod { $_[0] = 1 } mod(2); Another way is to assign to a substr() that's off the end of the s +tring. Yet another way is to assign to a foreach loop VAR when VAR is aliased to a constant in the look LIST: $x = 1; foreach my $n ($x, 2) { $n *= 2; # modifies the $x, but fails on attempt to mo +dify the 2 } Uncaught exception from user code: Modification of a read-only value attempted at -e line 1. at -e line 1
