Re^4: Five Ways to Reverse a String of Words (C#, Perl 5, Perl6, Ruby, Haskell)

Humbug. If your function API isn't explicitely saying it's using the current value of $", then it shouldn't use its current value.

Do not assume people haven't touched it. They have every right to, without having to appologize for it, to you.

Keep cool. I didn't publish any function API, but I might do so. Anyways, you're right in "counting on the default value", and in production use $" should be localized. I just didn't find it being necessary in the context of this thread. --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo. G°\ / /\_¯/(q / ---------------------------- \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."· ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}	[reply]

--shmem
