Re^6: If you believe in Lists in Scalar Context, Clap your Hands

Which relative new feature are you refering to? lvalue subs have been around since at least 5.6.0, and maybe even before that.

The "relatively" new feature I meant is lvalue subs, yes. I wasn't saying not to use them at all; the "like that" meant to avoid using them in uncommon ways. Or do thorough testing on all perl versions you expect to use. Since I don't know of a specific problem, this counts as FUD, but I am unrepentant. -- Online Fortune Cookie Search Office Space merchandise	[reply]
