Re^2: perl calls die() as a method

in reply to Re: perl calls die() as a method
in thread perl calls die() as a method

Here, 5.6.1's Deparse shows AA::BB::CORE::GLOBAL::die->new and 5.8.7's shows die('AA::BB'->new). And it's accurate; 5.6.1 runs die first and 5.8.7 runs new first.

So the answer to your question would be "upgrade Perl". :-)

You're right. My perl5.005 does indeed mess this up. This is apparently a precedence issue. Simplest fix: `eval { die( AA::BB->new ); }` "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l]
