Re: croak not like die.

This is what I got:

perl -MCarp -le 'croak "Died here"'
Died here at -e line 1
[download]

vs.

perl -MCarp -le 'croak "Died here\n"'
Died here
[download]

from the perldoc:

The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because they act like die() or warn(), but with a message which is more likely to be useful to a user of your module.

soooo.... it's not the same, but like.

I get `> perl -MCarp -le 'croak "Died here"' Died here at -e line 1 > perl -MCarp -le 'croak "Died here\n"' Died here at -e line 1` [download] Which is not the same as your ouput, but I would consider mine better, since the reason to use croak is to give the file/line message in the first place. This is perl, v5.8.6 built for i686-linux. (with -DDEBUGGING by the way, though I doubt that matters.) "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l]
