Optiperl as a tool

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Does anyone use OptiPerl as a tool? I cannot run this basic program on it without an error message and then a connection time out.

 while (<>) {
     chomp;
     print join("\t", (split /:/)[0, 2, 1, 5] ), "\n";
     }

Help me oh monastic mentors.

I cannot run this basic program on it without an error message You had better posted that message. In what environment are you trying to run that snippet?	[reply]

without an error message means there was no error message :)	[reply]

No, if the OP "can't without", it means he "can with", so there's an error message, isn't there?	[reply]

Optiperl continually executes your code to notify you of syntax errors. I thought it ran it under `perl -c`. Apparently it is getting hung up on the `while (<>)` part.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
