[bigfish at kippered scripts]$ perl -v | head -2
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i386-linux
[bigfish at kippered scripts]$ cat plugtest
#!/usr/bin/perl
$a = "name";
$b = 5;
my $c = "name";
my $d = 5;
print ".D(${a}[$b])\n";
print ".D(${c}[$d])\n";
[bigfish at kippered scripts]$ ./plugtest
.D(name[5])
.D([5])
[bigfish at kippered scripts]$ perl -w ./plugtest
Name "main::c" used only once: possible typo at ./plugtest line 10.
.D(name[5])
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./plugtest line 10.
.D([5])
