Re^2: Grokking Compile Error Messages

Go on, write a module that gives you colored error messages by setting $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__}. Just don't make it default.

You're all missing the point. My comment had almost nothing to do with a desire for colored error messages, and almost everything to do with designing a language compiler that won't confuse people by default, however that is to be accomplished. The basic underlying problem is that the messages are prioritized in a deceptive manner. An optional module does nothing to fix that.	[reply]

Sometimes you wish there was more than one ++ to give. :-)	[reply]
