Subject: new requires code ref
I just read the Advent http://www.perladvent.org/2002/1st/ and this simple example fails: use URI::Find::Schemeless; # v0.13 my $text = "some text, www.washington.edu"; my $finder = URI::Find::Schemeless->new(); my $matches = $finder->find(\$text); with this error message: Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/URI/Find.pm line 126. Can't use string ("") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/URI/Find.pm line 126. This implies that new() requires a code ref. A simple work-around ( e.g. new(sub {}) ) will do, but initializing with an empty code ref, or using defined would be better.

URI::Find->new does require a code ref. The documentation doesn't say that the code ref is optional. What are you saying is the bug here? Are you unhappy that the error message isn't tailored to the problem? -- Roderick Schertler roderick@argon.org

Version 0.15 of URI::Find, just uploaded, will croak() if you try to call any of its functions with the wrong number of arguments. -- Roderick Schertler roderick@argon.org
