I was surprised that reading $[ does not give a warning: % perl -E 'use 5.016; use warnings; my $x = $[' 0 I think it would be a good idea to start warning on this - given that the variable has been deprecated since 5.12, and discouraged since long before that, and the amount of code that needs to check the value of $[ must be tiny. Then later on $[ can be removed from the grammar altogether, which will surely tidy things up and help give better diagnostics for typos like $[0] instead of $_[0]. -- Ed Avis <eda@waniasset.com>Thread Next
