I appreciate your keen eye for my nonsensical }s typo. I had tried "use strict" in an earlier version, but got errors I could not decipher. Adding back "use strict" and troubleshooting away some other errors, I get as error #1:You made a false economy by not using strict. Yes, you would have to fix those errors - mostly due to not declaring *everything* with 'my'. But to leave it out is to shoot yourself in the foot.You have managed to blow your whole leg off with a .22.
"my" variable @rawRollArray masks earlier declaration in same scope at ./nudice-strict_test line 114.
Line 114 (which now points to the right line, thank you so much!!) only shifts an element off of @rawRollArray, which has been declared as a "my" variable earlier on:
my @rawRollArray = roll(@currentRollRequest); # produces raw roll array from roll request array
while @rawRollArray {
my $thisRoll = shift(@rawRollArray); # holds one die roll to be subjected to per-die min/max rules
...
}
Since I could make nothing of this sort of "error" I gave it up, looking instead for errors of which I could make some sense. One way I sought to eliminate this was to eliminate all the "my" variables, which in turn required me to ditch "use strict" which began to complain mightily ... which is how I got a pile of (garbage) code with "use strict" commented out. Can you direct me to a resource which will help me to see what needs to happen here? From my cursory view, it seems any subsequent mention or use of a properly declared "my" variable will result in the error that it "masks earlier declaration in same statement at ..."
Help! What to do?
Thanks again,
Chris
