Re: [FWP] sifting

[Bill Jones <bill@fccj.org>]

Sorry to pester you, but I am in a bit of a jam.

I run a smallish WebCT installation and I want to upgrade to Perl 5.6.0,
HOWEVER, the WebCT perl scripts are not ready to run under 5.6.0.

The WebCT people say that their scripts should be -c compliant, but I tried
to explain that -c doesn't guarantee that the scripts are without runtime
nor logical errors.

I thought I had seen this -w versus -c topic discussed with example code in
the past, but now I am unable to find it.  Can anyone here provide a clear
coding example, especially a DBM or DB example of how Perl can -c but not
run correctly - one where -w would have caught the error?

Thx!
