I have a very strange problem..
perl5 Number Sign # not working correctly for comments..
We use emperl, mod_perl, apache, linux..
In some programs if I have a line commented out with a number sign # or just a number sign # by itself on a line, all of the code below that line doesn't work correctly.
There is a sysadmin so I don't have access or control over any of the settings on the server.
This is a new issue everything always worked previously.
So many possible area's that this might be coming from that I'm checking to see if anybody has run across this..
Any suggestions?
Found the issue:
Was transferring the files from LINUX to Windows to edit them.
If the file was originally created in Windows the end of a line was just a <CR> and for some reason the whole file wasn't running right. It mainly showed up when using the hash symbol for perl comments.
When I made sure the files had end of lines with <CR><LF>, this solved this issue.
