Ops, sorry.

hard to explain in english, here is a example:

perl -we 'sub have_lwp {} my $redir = have_lwp ? [qw(GET HEAD POST)] :
1;'

% perl -we 'sub have_lwp {}; my $redir = have_lwp ? [qw(GET HEAD POST)] : 1;' Search pattern not terminated at -e line 1.

Hmm, I wonder where does it find a search pattern there


Perl thinks ? is the start of the ?PATTERN? operator. See perldoc perlop for more on it. I never used it. And I'm amazed too.

Hmm, I wasn't even aware of the existance of this operator.

That sounds like a parser bug to me. Care to ping p5p about it? At least this caveat needs to be documented in perl docs I believe (if it isn't already).
