How Well Can You Read Documentation?

(I was going to call this post “How well do you understand context?” but I think this title is more accurate). I just saw someone recommending this code:

$reversed = reverse(split //, $string);

1	$reversed = reverse(split //, $string);

Looks sensible enough, doesn’t it? But it isn’t. What’s the hidden inefficiency?

Right. I think I might have got this cracked now. Here’s some Perl code.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
print "Hello World\n";

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use warnings;

print "Hello World\n";

That’s pretty cool, isn’t it. I wonder what it’ll look like in the web feed. I’ll try to feed my fixes back to the author of the plugin.
