Re^8: What would you change?

Good point and (probably) a good call, but I'm now wondering about the difference betweem the error message you got and that I got: Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call ...?

I'll have to see if I can reproduce the situation. I was running my REPL at the time.

The difference is that I didn't use it as an lvalue. Perl checks whether or not it can be used as an lvalue before trying to execute it. `>perl -e"&vec()" Undefined subroutine &main::vec called at -e line 1. >perl -e"&vec() = 1" Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call at -e line 1.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
