> qw() is inconsistent with the rest of Perl which defines whitespace to > include comments. (e.g. comments can separate tokens (which is the closest > the docs come to defining whitespace), regex allow comments as whitespace, > lex_read_space skips over comments, etc). And most importantly, people > expect comments to work in qw. Disagree. Just because some people do, doesn't mean all people do. *I* certainly have never expected it to do so. But I remember when it happened. Do you? I also know how to make them work if I want that sort of thing. I have a million gtrivial little helpers for the likes of that. --tomThread Previous | Thread Next
