Well, obviously, I ought to have written: "I haven't seriously tried 'my' or 'strict' yet."
In fact, I have already tried "decent" programming once or twice but, you know, since I'm only an amateur (no special training, no undergraduate studies, no professional ambitions... you see, I'm just a teacher of English), I only get frustrated when I type the magic words "use strict" and then... nothing works! Unless, of course, I do everything properly.
Of course, I would like to get there but, for the time being, I simply want to enjoy the overwhelming power perl has given me as I try to modify texts or create different versions of the same test in a desperate attempt to avert cheating. ;-)
So... OK! I admit it! I'm so voluptuous that I refuse to practice "safe" programming... for the time being... Just let me have some fun first! After all, penance and repentance come after you've sinned, don't they, brother? ;-) | [reply] |
It's serious, but all too common, fundamental mistake to think that if your program coughed up no errors, it "worked". Even so, I do encourage you to have fun. We learn from our mistakes too.
