Need a script that manipulates a fixed length file that will compare 2 fields in that file and if they are equal write that line to a new file.
i.e. If fields 87-93 = fields 119-125, then write the entire line to a new file. Do this for every line in the file. After we get only the fields... (1 Reply)

Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWithSpecialBlockNames - Don't use labels that are the same as the special block
names.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
When using one of the special Perl blocks "BEGIN", "END", "CHECK", "INIT", and "UNITCHECK", it is easy to mistakenly add a colon to the end
of the block name. E.g.:
# a BEGIN block that gets executed at compile time.
BEGIN { <...code...> }
# an ordinary labeled block that gets executed at run time.
BEGIN: { <...code...> }
The labels "BEGIN:", "END:", etc. are probably errors. This policy prohibits the special Perl block names from being used as labels.
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
