In perl 4.000(on 4.3BSD, compiled with gcc),
Running the following script and the perl will explode.
#! /usr/bin/perl
format =
~~<<<<<<<
$s
.
$s = "Just another perl novice.";
write(STDOUT);
__END__
I know the script is mistaken.
If format string is "~~^<<<<<<<", it works fine.
But, is't that daingerous?
v^vv^^^v^v^vv^vv^vv^^v^^^v^^^^vvv^v^v^v^v^^vv^vv^^^vv^^v^vvv
