Have you tried: use strict; use warnings; perl -c perltidy ? C.	[reply]

For just checking if the syntax is clean, you could try `perl -c filename`. For cleaning up the code format-wise, you might want to look at PerlTidy. Hope that helps....	[reply] [d/l]

You can install perltidy on the development machine and check your code there. No need to run it on the production machine. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

While I wholeheartedly agree with the 'perl -c' statements above, they are not a panacea. Because you can have run-time generated subroutines, perl -c doesn't bother to check whether or not the ones you called are valid or not. You'll find that out at runtime though...:). thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply]
