Hi All,
Thinking about it, I thought I did not bring
enough attention to the `-c` switch in the
above command line. This runs a SYNTAX check
and stops at that. It does not run the program.
I use the `-c` option extensively to debug my
typos before debugging my programs.
When I found BEGIN actually running when all
I wanted was a syntax check, I was perplexed.
My understanding was that -c only checked my
syntax, including my BEGIN block.
This is why I asked on the chat line. Bug
or suppose to be? And the answer is that
is just turned out that way. And that is
fine with me.
:-)
