Re: Fatal error only in debug modus

If you make a syntax error in print "X", for example leaving out one of the quotes, it is reported as an error in line 1. So line 0 errors must occur before getting to the expression to evaluate.

I would check if you have aliased the perl command in some way.

$ alias perl
perl: alias not found

But you may find it defined to something, possibly involving -e'0=1'.

As Occam said: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.

Okay, I'll bite --- why would someone want to alias it like that? An obfuscated way to prevent users from running Perl? Practical joke (that would be a good one, might have to remember this one for April 1st)? Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]

Thank you, brethren, for at least having a look at my problem. But noboday played an Aprils fool on me, there is no alias. Anyway, with that alias the error should occur without "-d" switch, too. Well, I already gave up looking for the reason of the debugging error and I'm spicing my beautiful code with nasty log prints. This way I might not need the debugger. Cheers and happy new year!
