I re-installed the module from http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.76_65.tar.gz and the install went OK. When I first installed, I might not have set up the FTP servers correctly. So this time, it did not walk me through that dialogue. I think the re-install is still using

Ugliness: Instead of using the modules, your pluggable system could read the module into a scalar, prepended with 'use strict;' and eval that. Of course you'd have to scan the code for and remove 'no strict;' as well, and be sure that the author didn't really need it. But what if they: 'no strict

2005-11-14 Thread Carl Eklof
Hello, Does anybody know of a way to enforce 'use strict' on the packages used in a script? I am building a sizable application, with plug-able modules (packages) written in perl. I'd like to enforce 'use strict' on the included modules, without depending on users to put 'use strict' below each

Taking advantage of the Brainbench free test period, I've taken a bunch of their tests lately. Although I've scored well I've found the tests to be somewhat frustrating as a bunch of questions on each test seem to be flawed. There are a couple of reoccurring patterns: questions where you are
