I happen to need the flip-flop after reading
Flipin good, or a total flop?. The following behavior puzzles me, why does the first version print "after"? Thanks.
my @data = <DATA>;
print "Using lexical varible:\n";
foreach my $line (@data){
if($line =~ /begin/../end/){
print $line;
}
}
print "\nNot using lexical varible:\n";
foreach (@data){
if(/begin/../end/){
print;
}
}
__DATA__
before
begin
1
2
3
end
after
__RESULT__
Using lexical varible:
begin
1
2
3
end
after
Not using lexical varible:
begin
1
2
3
end
