WTF doesn't perl -c check for valid subroutines/function calls?
I can write a perlscript calling a function that doesn't exist but perl -c
will say syntax ok.
ie:
% perl -ce "nothing_here('some junk')"
-e syntax OK
% perl -e "nothing_here('some junk')"
Undefined subroutine &main::nothing_here called at -e line 1.
That doesn't make sense!
It should check function calls at compile time, correct?
So why not for -c?
Excuse me if I have overstepped my bounds. I still love Perl regardless, but
it can be better.
