- DESCRIPTION
- Awk Traps
- C/C++ Traps
- Sed Traps
- Shell Traps
- Perl Traps
- Perl4 to Perl5 Traps
- Discontinuance, Deprecation, and BugFix? traps, Parsing Traps, Numerical
- Traps, General data type traps, Context Traps - scalar, list contexts,
- Precedence Traps, General Regular Expression Traps using s///, etc,
- Subroutine, Signal, Sorting Traps, OS Traps, DBM Traps, Unclassified Traps
- Discontinuance, Deprecation, and BugFix? traps
- Symbols starting with ``_'' no longer forced into main, Double-colon valid
-
package separator in variable name, 2nd and 3rd args to
splice()are now -
in scalar context, Can't do
gotointo a block that is optimized away, -
Can't use whitespace as variable name or quote delimiter,
while/if BLOCK -
BLOCK> gone,
**binds tighter than unary minus,foreachchanged when -
iterating over a list,
splitwith no args behavior changed, -e -
behavior fixed,
pushreturns number of elements in resulting list, Some -
error messages differ,
split()honors subroutine args, Bugs removed - Parsing Traps
- Space between . and = triggers syntax error, Better parsing in perl 5,
-
Function parsing, String interpolation of
$#arraydiffers, Perl guesses -
on
map,grepfollowed by{if it starts BLOCK or hash ref - Numerical Traps
- Formatted output and significant digits, Auto-increment operator over
- signed int limit deleted, Assignment of return values from numeric equality
- tests doesn't work, Bitwise string ops
- General data type traps
- Negative array subscripts now count from the end of array, Setting
-
$#arraylower now discards array elements, Hashes get defined before - use, Glob assignment from localized variable to variable, Assigning
-
undefto glob, Changes in unary negation (of strings), Modifying of -
constants prohibited,
defined $varbehavior changed, Variable Suicide - Context Traps - scalar, list contexts
- Elements of argument lists for formats evaluated in list context,
-
caller()returns false value in scalar context if no caller present, -
Comma operator in scalar context gives scalar context to args,
sprintf() -
prototyped as
($;@) - Precedence Traps
- LHS vs. RHS of any assignment operator, Semantic errors introduced due to
- precedence, Precedence of assignment operators same as the precedence of
-
assignment,
openrequires parentheses around filehandle,$: -
precedence over
$::gone, Precedence of file test operators documented, -
keys,each,valuesare regular named unary operators - General Regular Expression Traps using s///, etc.
-
s'$lhs'$rhs'interpolates on either side,m//gattaches its state to -
the searched string,
m//oused within an anonymous sub,$+isn't set - to whole match, Substitution now returns null string if it fails,
-
s`lhs`rhs`is now a normal substitution, Stricter parsing of variables -
in regular expressions,
m?x?matches only once, Failed matches don't - reset the match variables
- Subroutine, Signal, Sorting Traps
- Barewords that used to look like strings look like subroutine calls,
-
Reverse is no longer allowed as the name of a sort subroutine,
warn() - won't let you specify a filehandle
- OS Traps
-
SysV? resets signal handler correctly, SysV?
seek()appends correctly - Interpolation Traps
-
@always interpolates an array in double-quotish strings, Double-quoted - strings may no longer end with an unescaped $, Arbitrary expressions are
-
evaluated inside braces within double quotes,
$$xnow tries to -
dereference $x, Creation of hashes on the fly with
eval "EXPR"requires - protection, Bugs in earlier perl versions, Array and hash brackets during
-
interpolation, Interpolation of
\$$foo{bar},qq()string passed to -
evalwill not find string terminator - DBM Traps
- Perl5 must have been linked with same dbm/ndbm as the default for
-
dbmopen(), DBM exceeding limit on the key/value size will cause perl5 to - exit immediately
- Unclassified Traps
-
require/dotrap using returned value,spliton empty string with - LIMIT specified
