Re^2: how to enable, disable strict

now i have the code completed -- but when a user guess the right number it keeps asking for the same guess again and again , my question is : how can i restart the program automaticaly with a new secret number but without quiting . here is the code


#!/usr/bin/perl -w 

use warnings;
use strict;

my $secret = int(1 + rand 100);

while(1) {
print "please enter a guess from 1 to 100: ";
chomp(my $guess = <STDIN>);
if ($guess =~ /quit|exit|^s*$/i)
{
print " sorry you gave up.the number was $secret.\n"; last;
}

elsif ($guess < $secret) { no strict;
print "you failed ,try higher\n"; 
}

elsif ($guess > $secret) {

  print "you failed , try lower\n";
}

elsif ($guess == $secret) {
print "you got it\n";

}

}

There are many ways to achieve that. An easy way is to repeat the code that generates of the number in the success block. Here's a slightly different way to do it using a "special" value (undef) and using an if as a statement modifier: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use warnings; use strict; my $secret; while (1) { $secret = int(1 + rand 100) if ! defined $secret; print "please enter a guess from 1 to 100: "; chomp (my $guess = <STDIN>); if ($guess =~ /quit\|exit\|^s*$/i) { print "Sorry you gave up. The number was $secret.\n"; last; } if ($guess < $secret) { print "You failed, try higher.\n"; } elsif ($guess > $secret) { print "You failed, try lower.\n"; } elsif ($guess == $secret) { print "You got it!\n"; $secret = undef; } }` [download] DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply] [d/l]
