Re^2: Bad code from the trenches

Oh? So, what does the following do?

my $y = "Boo!";
my $x = "@{[print $y, $/]}";

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

That's not the example. The example is: `my $y = 'Boo!'; my $x = '@{[print $y, $/]}'; # note the single quotes here my $z = "$x"; print $z;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Huh. Interesting ... is there a way to force interpolation of the text in $x? Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
