Re: Re: localtime array slice problem

Good point about trying new things out inside of a script with warnings and use strict on. In this case, since I already knew that localtime is a function, I was able to use the following to get right past both -w and use strict:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print @{localtime()}[1,3];
1;

Running this as

perl -c ltimetest.pl
[download]

checks out okay, but running it tells me that I "Can't use string ("Thu Jan 11.... as an ARRAY ref while in strict subs..."

Quick question: Why did -c pass where running the script generates the uncaught exception?-

`Can't use string %s as %s ref while "strict refs" in use` is a runtime error. -c is only for catching compile-time errors. There are many, many errors that can occur when a script is running but don't prevent the script from compiling. Here's another example: `$x = 0; $y = 7 / $x;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
