in thread Averages in bowling

Whoa! That's weird! I did run a test before making that statment. I don't know why, but my test (below) freezes (while yours works). A bug in the optimization code?

perl -e "until (0) { print "a\n" }

(I figured I'd just Ctrl-C it)

    Try perl -e "until (0) {print qq(a\n)}" and then smack yourself when you notice the two errors that caused you to have problems. :-P

      doh!! *bonks self with a bible*

      I only see one error. I think you're refering to the missing closing quote which is not an error.

        Are you sure that the missing close quote is not an error? I don't have Windows to test on, but Linux, missing either a closing ' or " causes the command line to spill onto the next line, which means that you type in your command and nothing happens.
      Is this your new brand of KinkyPerl? :P
