Hi Monkees,
Why does the following code print 10 bars for the first section, yet behaves as I expected for the second?
#Huh? 10 bars, WTF?
for(1..10){
$_>5 ? $x='foo' : $x='bar';
print "$_:$x\n";
}
# That's better - 5 foos and 5 bars
for(1..10){
$x=($_>5 ? 'foo' : 'bar');
print "$_:$x\n";
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
