Home: General Discussions: General Questions: Grumble Rant

kencl User Jan 19, 2001, 8:15 PM Post #1 of 2 (4236 views) Grumble Rant Can't Post Why the heck does an eval block require a semicolon to terminate it? I just spent over an half an hour trying to find that error, and who amongst you would go looking for a missing semicolon at the end of a statement block? I feel better now. I love programming in PERL, but every now and then AAAAAAAAAAH :)
