Re: regular expression variables under debugger - SOME RESOLUTION!

Have you never heard of providing context for your posts? Why do you
think your problem is so profoundly interesting to anyone that they
should go looking for your code, which in this case was pointless and
proved nothing.


Well, I think it *would* be interesting if a regular expression that one
knows ahead of time *does* match and matches fine when in non-debugging
mode, but it does something completely different under the debugger,
gee, silly me, I thought that was interesting.

I still think it is, and if I see it again, I will post back because
this is not the first time I've seen something like that, as I
originally indicated.

And I did post the code that reproduced the problem for me, what like 3
or 4 times?? At first, I didn't have the exact code, and when that was
the case I said so and said I'd post it as soon as I had it because I
thought I had hit upon the actual problem area. And I figured out what
the problem was with no help from you all and I posted the code that
reproduced the problem.

And what did the folks out here say. First, I don't want to install any
XML:: library. Second, what I posted was not minimal enough, when in
fact it was, well at least give or take a line or two. Third, that I
needed use strict and use warnings, when these things of course had
nothing whatsoever to do with the issue.

I do expect people to read an entire thread before they post and be sure
when they say something berating me that they know what they're talking
about. You think that unreasonable? You prefer wasting bandwidth on
trivial discussions that are not to the point. Well, actually, often
usenet involves a little circuitousness while arriving at a proper
discussion, but this discussion never got there and I think I posted
plenty of info about the issue.

I expect people to have threaded news readers and be able to follow a
slightly lengthy thread before they post into it. I can't quote the
entire thread, I quote what came just before, and I don't waste
bandwidth repeating things 2 or 3 times.

Your "sky is falling" item is completely ridiculous as I don't think at
any point I was begging anyone out here for help, simply pointing out
odd behavior and trying to get comments. I think I can safely say that
at no point was I at risk of receiving help here and I wasn't really
asking for help, more like "serving notice" of a problem and getting
comments about what people thought about it (like it it lightning
striking or just par for the course).

I think everyone reading this thread realizes the problem is with you
and not perl.

Well, who knows what some people think and frankly who cares. I don't
have any idea what most of the people who have been posting in this
thread think about. I know that they can't read very well though and I
know they still don't understand things I've explained like 3 times or
so. I'm certainly not lowering myself to further explanations at this
point.

I'm optimistically thinking to myself that the brighter ones among you
probably just opted out of this thread as the one guy did, saying, "it's
probably a version problem" or an installation problem. That was in
fact the apt analysis.

I don't appreciate the people who come out here and make me waste time
by over-analyzing demo code in ways that have absolutely nothing to do
with my problem or my issue and making me hand-hold them through some
quite decently explained observations, and then ask for more and more
code, which I give, and then they simply whine and make pointless
observations that were already addressed elsewhere in the thread. These
people destroy constructive discussions, plain and simple and they are a
menace to usenet.

These people aren't helping me or doing anything useful and I don't care
if I alienate them.

So, what did I do wrong again??
