Subject: About the error message in Perl : "Missing right curly
braces"

Hi all,

I want to know the best approach that should be used to find the extra
curly
brace when any Perl program aborts with the error message as "Missing
right
curly braces".

Though the error message is simple enough to suggest that there is an
extra
curly brace in the Perl program, but it specifies the line number as
the
last line of the program. If the program is very big, matching all the
properly nested curly braces and finding out the mismatched one takes
lots
of effort and time. It happened with me yesterday when I was working
with
a
perl code of around 3000 lines long and it took me nearly 1.5 hours to
find
out the exact line where the problem is.

I usually go back to where I was last editing.

I do regular syntax checks to see if I missed anything as I'm going too.

Hi

Assuming you are getting the buggy code for the first time and you need to
track which line contains that curly brace which is causing that problem,
what your modified approach be ?

This is exactly the same scenario which I have faced just now.

Thanks & Regards,
