Re: Why 'die LIST'?

It takes a list so the following works die "error with object ", $object->name(), " while processing bar(", $object->state(), ")\n"; I wish that the Carp family (croak, confess, etc) also took a list instead of .'ing everything. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

Hmm, that would be a bug, then, since the documented behavior is "they act like die() or warn()...". Hmm, and it works for me: `perl -MCarp -e "carp ('hello', 'world', qq(\n))";` [download] Looking at the code, it says, `my $error = join '', @_;` so it certainly is intending to work that way. —John	[reply] [d/l] [select]

They do. Look at the source of Carp.pm.	[reply]
