Yes, by 'barewords' I meant to say the treatment of unquoted identifiers as strings, in cases where "use strict 'subs'" would give an error. That is not the case for STDERR. Barewords will give a warning "clash with future reserved word", but not if they have characters outside [a-z]. My question is first, whether anyone is still using this feature (I have never come across code that uses it outside of golfing and poetry, but I accept that different programmers have different styles), and if the answer to the first question is "no", whether it might be time to officially deprecate this feature. --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126715Thread Previous | Thread Next
