Re: Perl templates for Emacs?

Latest update: varying emacs versions seem to have varying macro support for this, it appears to be necessary to code the macro in a .el file (emacs lisp); .

Original post: (no longer relevant) I don't know the symptoms you had, but what screams at me is that the bare array needs instead to be expressed in list mode by encasing it in round brackets, so that it forms a valid RHS for the list assignment.e.g.:

sub FeetIntact{
    my ($self,$shootSomeoneElse) = (@_);
    # ...
}
[download]

Update: Oops overkill there - this is only necessary for reading parameters in hash form, e.g.:-

FeetIntact( toe => big, smell => roquefort );
sub FeetIntact{
    my %par = (@_);
    # $par { smell } now has value 'roquefort'
}
[download]

One world, one people

the bare array needs instead to be expressed in list mode by encasing it in round brackets Why should it?? `use strict; use warnings; foo ("Darth", "Vader"); sub foo { my ($bar,$baz) = @_; print "$bar $baz"; }` [download] prints "Darth Vader", as expected. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

First, you have syntax error in that code (the opening curly in the sub call). Second, braces are unneccessary too. Do you test your code before posting? `FeetIntact(toe => big, smell => roquefort ); sub FeetIntact { my %par = @_; print $par{smell}; #roquefort }` [download] holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

Well, actually I always write `my ($self,$inTheFootShoot) = @_;` [download] (apart from when I am shooting myself in the foot). It was the missing `$self` [download] that was causing me problems. Are the brackets really necessary? loris	[reply] [d/l] [select]
