Okay so I've been developing in Perl programming language for quiet some time at work. This language is probably one of my least programming languages but unfortunately it is heavily being used at my work and my group just doesn't have an option of porting the code into some other programming environment. The system has grown huge and some members of my group are hesitant in learning a REAL language. So I (and probably other software engineers here) have to live with it and get the job done.
Every once in a while I spend hours pulling my hair trying to figure out why some code acts funky or behaves in an unexpected manner. So I thought I document these every time I encounter them, this way I can refer back to them every once in a while as well as share it with other unfortunate Perl developers out there!
Please if you know of any of these types of "features" let me know and I'll be happy to post them. Also Perl monks out there, please correct me if I'm wrong in any of my explanations and I'll be more than happy to change the explanation and update the credits for it:)
Happy Coding!
