( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

This kind of thing can be okay for progressive checking. I normal dislike this style of code/logic but it seems a good fit for this kind of problem.

if ( $range > 500 ) { WAT_OP(); } elsif ( $range >= 425 ) { some_op(); } elsif ( $range > 400 ) { some_other_op(); } elsif ( $range > 300 ) { exit 0; } else { complete_tree_op(); }

You can also do something more dispatchy–

my @action_tree = ( { test => sub { $_[0] >= 300 && $_[0] <= 400 }, action => sub { print "GUDNITES\n"; CORE::exit(0 +) } }, { test => sub { $_[0] >= 425 && $_[0] <= 500 }, action => sub { print "OHAI\n" } } ); while ( my $signal = <SIGNAL_SOURCE> ) { $_->{test}->($signal) && $_->{action}->() for @action_tree; }

I'm not advocating either, or that second style of terseness, or any style or approach for that matter. Just expanding the library of options. :P

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
