IMO, anything that has to do with *syntax* - and especially stylistic issues (which includes "my $x if 0" and one character subs - but also "print interpreted as a function" and qw [foo, bar #baz]), are more suitable for a linter; anything that has to do with a programs state belong to the core. And I really dislike new warnings for existing constructs that haven't changed meaning. Of course, that's just my opinion. AbigailThread Previous | Thread Next
