Re^6: Use of uninitialized value in substr

The point is, it is an extremely contrived example. And one that does not further the discussion. To arrive at the point where the absence of the 'uninitialised' warning could possibly be seen as bad, a different, more relevant and diagnostic warning is produced.

So, in that case, the suppression of the former is not a problem.

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.
