Re^6: Syntax Highlighting Editors Beware

You will never convince me that spaces in variable names makes things better.

I guess you missed the irony.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Doh, I have to stop posting on Saturdays. You can pull my chain, but sometimes I don't light up. :-) On the topic though, instead of quoting, it may work by using the same variable identifier to end the variable.... it would eliminate all confusion and allow "any" characters like tab, newlines, line returns, etc. It would make obfuscated code very easy. `my $var with spaces and \t tabs$ = 1; my @arr ay@ = (); my %ha sh%= ();` [download] Maybe I should stop posting on Sundays too. :-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth Remember How Lucky You Are	[reply] [d/l]
