fat commas (Score:1)

by Alias (5735) on 2008.10.08 19:38 (#65339) Homepage Journal

A huge pain in the ass for me is that literal barewords for fat commas are falsely shown as keywords.
foo( reset => 1 );
Another big one, for me at least, is that all POD blocks should start with =pod, otherwise the relatively simple comment checker in Ultraedit can't handle it.

  Using a keyword as a bareword is what causes this. I haven't looked into fixing it as I see it as a feature. Try
  foo( bar => 1 );
  
  and you'll see that bar is treated like quoted text.
