Re: [Arsperl-devel] ars_GetFieldTable

[Thilo S. <thi...@ap...>]

The ars_GetFieldTable function probably works correctly in both cases. 
The observed behaviour is due to the fact that the "||" operator has 
higher precedence than "=", for further information see:

http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#C-style-Logical-Or-%7c%7c-operator%2c-logical%2c-or


Perl has also an "or" operator (with lower precedence), which works as 
expected:

my %fieldname_to_id = ars_GetFieldTable($c, "User") or die $ars_errstr;
