What version of Perl do you have? I think that line 564's logical-or only became available in Perl 5.10.
(it's not a regex search, but a ternary conditional-or apparently, because, ya know... Perl can't possibly have only 20 ways of doing something when it could instead have 21 ways... and at the same time get the bonus of re-using common character syntax used for completely different purposes; otherwise what fun would Perl be if it were easy to debug?) -hadriel On Apr 4, 2014, at 11:35 PM, Hadriel Kaplan <hadriel.kap...@oracle.com> wrote: > > On Apr 4, 2014, at 11:26 PM, Hadriel Kaplan <hadriel.kap...@oracle.com> wrote: > >> I barely know perl, but checkhf.pl line 564 does indeed look bogus to me. >> (the double slashes are what it thinks is starting a regex search pattern >> that's not terminated I believe) > > Actually, no it's fine.
