Hi everyone,
I'm new to using perl and am having a terrible time debugging things because
of the (seemingly to me) quite unhelpful run-time errors. I do use: 'use
strict;' and get an error like the following: 'Scalar found where operator
expected... at end of line (Missing operator before ?)'
Looking at my code, I have a simple assignment statement, doesn't appear to
be any unclosed braces/quotes/anything up above it.
All of this is sort of beside the point, but the source of my trouble. My
question is this: Is there any method (other than 'use strict;', or in
conjunction with it) that will provide better error messages? Perhaps it's
just my newness to perl, but I've found the error messages from perl to be
quite unhelpful compared to those of C/C++/other languages, I realize that
they are compiled languages with stricter typing, but still. I've tried
'perldoc strict'- couldn't really think of anything else.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Steve
