If I intend to write something like s/([ab])c/$1c/; but accidentally omit the parentheses and write s/[ab]c/$1c/; I get a run time error message -- assuming the pattern matches the input data. But if the test data does not expose this bug I might not find out about it until later.
Is there any way to get a "compile time" check? I am already running with -w and strict. Hopefully helpfully yours, Steve -- Steve Tolkin Steve .
