Re: usenet What is "Using an array as a reference is deprecated at ...."

| Well, I had posted some questions to "comp.lang.perl.moderated" a while back
and did not get
much response. I have been doing some work with PTk to clean up some my code
that I have been using
for quite while and give it it a UI to make the users happy. This is the
first time I have seen this warning.
This happened during test of a Tk module that I just finished.
If this is not a good place, where do you think is a good place to post
questions like this?
Thank you for your time and quick response
Regards,
-shahriar

Why don't you show us the code, particularly that surrounding the line
numbers given in the warnings.

If you had included some perl/Tk code, I might have been less irritable!

| For non-Tk Perl questions, you can try comp.lang.perl.misc

As its name suggests, clpmod is moderated. This means that somebody has to
approve your question before being posted. They usually deal there with more
advanced issues, and, frankly, your question doesn't fit that description.
Go for comp.lang.perl.misc for your everyday Perl questions, but make sure
you try to figure out the answer yourself first, or else you might get some
nastry replies.
Other things you can do is check out perldiag for explanations of all of
Perl's warning messages. Further, you can google for your warning message. I
did that, and the very first hit gives the correct response.

I'd suggest you Google long and hard before posting on c.l.p.misc;
if you think Marc D was cranky, try posting this question there!
