I > realize I will have to apply the discipline at some point... Now is the best and easiest time to apply the (self) discipline, i.e. before you get into bad habits. Besides those issues have plenty to do with your code, they are (potential) bugs. Using strictures is effectively asking perl to help you write better code. It also makes your request for help look better when you ask on a public forum if you make it clear that you asked perl for help first. > for now, writing code on my own time/dime, I > persist with the bare minimum "-w". If you have dire warnings (hehe) with regard to this approach, I'm all > ears. The important thing is that you enable warnings. Having "use warnings;" in your code makes it a bit more obvious than "-w" that you have done so. If you can persuade you editor to do the work for you then "use warnings;" becomes no more effort than "-w". What you do in private, however, is up to you. > > Yes, you are right, I added the comments to the listserv posting-- which were invalid in Perl-ese. Which illustrates why you should cut&paste your code rather than typing it. It doesn't help your cause if people trying to help you have to fix syntax errors before they can run your code. > > BINGO! You pointed out my ASS-umption that there was a FALSE literal defined inherently in Perl! :) As I said "use strict;" would have given you a hint that something was wrong with that. In any event, I am glad that you have fixed your problem.
