I have a script that I noticed was giving me problems with the Cygwin version of Perl
when I ran it, but the same script works fine with the AcitveState version of Perl.
The key lines of the main loop look like this:
while (<GUIFILE>) {
chomp;
if (!$desc and /^(\w+):$/) { # warning line
# ...
} elsif (/^\{$/) {
# ...
} elsif (/^\}$/) {
# ...
} elsif (!$desc and /^"?$screen"?\.(.+):/) {
# ...
} elsif ($desc and /^\s*id:\s*(\d+)$/) {
# ...
} else {
# ...
}
} # end while <GUIFILE>
Now, every single time I read in a line, I get this warning
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./genguimapdoc.pl line
60, <GUIFILE> line n.
However, I do NOT get this warning using ActiveState Perl, and the script works fine!
Is this thus a bug in Cygwin's Perl build?
