Hello: There was recent discussion on Stackoverflow.com regarding where to find documentation for $# (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2997042/ ). The poster was actually looking for information regarding the $#ary to get the last index of @ary. He expected the documentation to be in perlvar.pod when it actually is in perldata.pod. Given that the builtin variable $# was removed with 5.10.0, there no longer is an entry in perlvar.pod for $#. The attached patch inserts an entry into perlvar.pod for $# which points out that $# no longer exists and the user should consult perldata.pod for the $#ary usage. The patch file was generated on a Windows system from blead. I am afraid permissions may have been messed up. Thank you for your attention. Sinan -- A. Sinan Unur http://www.unur.com/sinan/Thread Next
