Hi All, I just came across some code that used some old-style coding practice, and I wanted to know if there was still any GOOD reason for using it.
The code I saw was referencing variables using the $:: pragma: if ($::var) { ... } To my understanding this is a bit messy, and not to mention potentially dangerous as it kinda goes against the "use strict;" methodology, does it not? I haven't seen this style code in a long time so I wanted to get other feedback on its potential benefits before I suggest updating it. Thanks in advance to all that can help. --Alex
