Hi,
I wrote to the list with this issue before and got some suggestions, but
nothing worked. I ended up shelving it, but now would like to try again.
I have a thousand scripts I'd like to check for syntax errors. (Long
story that.) All I need is a list of which ones have errors.
Some code suggested by John seemed very promising:
my $return = do 'PossError1.pl';
$return has a value of 1 if the syntax is fine, and the error
message otherwise. My problems come when I loop. When I try:
for($number = 1; $number <1000; $number +=1) {
$progname = "PossError" . $number . ".pl";
my $return = do $progname;
print "$return\n";
}
I get two difficulties. 1) It doesn't do all one thousand scripts.
For some reason it decides nine is plenty. I see nine 1s on my screen and the
computer thinks it's done. 2) If one of the scripts has an error, it won't
even do nine. If the 7th one has an error I'll see 6 1s, an error message,
and then the program hangs.
Any suggestions?
Fred
