Randal, thank you for your patience and examples, but please do not
explain how BEGIN works again. I know that.
RLS So, Maxim, YOU are demonstrating the very reason I would flunk your
RLS code. It *doesn't* work!
my code is not absolytely correct, but it *works*. In
*this* case form is more important than contents for *me*.
RLS BEGIN { unshift @INC, ... } is reducible to the standard idiom
RLS of use lib ..., and should used in preference.
I understand, that beginners@ isn't right place for my example and our
discussion, but i took a part from very old (but still
working) perl script; yes, i should have checked that part before
sending, but (sigh...) nobody is perfect.
my apologies.
Best wishes,

In *this* case form is more important than contents for *me*. Your idea of working needs some revision. Your code may produce the results you want, but it is structured in a way that implies you don't understand what it's doing, or you wouldn't have done it that way. That's unhelpful to beginners in particular, and you would be well served by looking again to see how Randal's analysis can be used to improve your use of Perl. This is not just a matter of style. I could and would have made the same arguments, but Randal was faster and more articulate. -- Peter Scott Pacific Systems Design Technologies http://www.perldebugged.com

I'll stop here, I'm apparently beating my head against your brick wall. And judging from the other responses you got on this thread, I'm not off my rocker. One of us has additional supporters. One of us doesn't. There's a big clue there. -- Randal L.
