Case Sensitivity (Perl and Access VBA Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

Perl versus Access VBA: A side by side comparison between Perl and Access VBA.

 
Language Basics
 

Language basics is kind of a catch all for absolute beginner stuff. The items (common names) I chose for language basics is a bit random and include items like case sensitivity, commenting, declaring variables, etc.

Case Sensitivity

[Other Languages] 

Languages Focus

Case sensitiviy in this case is referring to commands and variable names. For example, are "printf" and "PrintF" equivalent? Are fullname and FullName equivalent? When you create commands, operations, methods, or variables should you worry about case?

Perl:   Yes

Perl is case sensitive.

Syntax Example:
print "hello"; //This works.
Print "hello"; //This does not.
Access VBA:   No

Access VBA is not case sensitive. Like VB Classic, if you type any other case for command or variable names, Access VBA will change it to the "accepted" or "defined" case. For example, if you type msgbox it is converted to Msgbox.

Syntax Example:  

The following code works:

MsgBox ("hello")
