Take this script http://paste.ubuntu.com/12096538/ I get Show quoted text

> perl dios-broken.pl

Unmatched right curly bracket at dios-broken.pl line 23, at end of line syntax error at dios-broken.pl line 23, near "}" Execution of dios-broken.pl aborted due to compilation errors. But s/y/yy/g as in the following script http://paste.ubuntu.com/12096529/ And I get the expected output Show quoted text

> perl dios-working.pl

23.259406699226 Show quoted text

> perl -v

This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 0 (v5.22.0) built for x86_64-linux (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) it also happens under 5.20 -- Thanks Peter Roberts

Hi Peter, Thanks so much for the bug report. This is a genuine problem, which I'm struggling to track well enough to solve. The same problem arises for attributes named 's' or 'qr' or 'tr', etc. which indicates that it's a parsing problem. That problem may be inside PPI or in perl itself...I'm still investigating. For the moment, I have no satisfactory work-around to suggest, except avoiding attribute names that also happen to be the leading keywords of quotelike operators. :-( I'll upload a fix as soon as I can find one. Damian
