We work w/ an externally created/supported large perl program and a recent update showed some odd commenting behavior, so somebody asked me:
To make it a true qotw, we would add the requirement that the program must filter out any lines that are commented out and any of the following logical statement where it will always be false: if( 0 and ($ConType eq "local")) Basically, not just the pattern in the script but that they will likely be executed. Now can that be done? I was thinking there's perl debugging switches that'd do this, the idea of reinventing the parser seemed a bad plan. a Andy Bach, Sys.
