Bug #46076 for Text-CSV_XS: Documentation example for Text::CSV_XS->error

Thu May 14 10:28:23 2009 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Hello Merijn, the Text::CSV_XS documentation suggests to use error_diag like this: $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ ecs_char => 1 }) or die Text::CSV_XS->error_diag (); to get this result: "Unknown attribute 'ecs_char'" However, it returns this result: 1000Unknown attribute 'ecs_char'0 at /tmp/csv2.pl line 4. Probably the documentation should be changed to force the stringified output, maybe like this: $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ ecs_char => 1 }) or die "" . Text::CSV_XS->error_diag (); Regards, Slaven

Nice catch. Thanks. What is better in your opinion to clear this in the docs or die "".Text::CSV_XS->error_diag (); or or die scalar Text::CSV_XS->error_diag (); -- H.Merijn Brand http://tux.nl Perl Monger http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using & porting perl 5.6.2, 5.8.x, 5.10.x, 5.11.x on HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, 11.23, and 11.31, OpenSuSE 10.3, 11.0, and 11.1, AIX 5.2 and 5.3. http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/

I have no strong preference. But I think that it's slighly more common in the perl world to use scalar(...) for context disambiguation.
