( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I always forget about the POSIX stuff, of course I also wish Perl had a matrix operator so that I could say something like:
printf '%d,%02d,%02d', (1900,1,0) plus reverse +(localtime)[3..5];
Er... I guess really that's just a vector operator... I know there are modules to do that, but I think it should be part of the Perl core... otherwise what's the point? I could just as easily write it:
sub add_vectors { my @left = @{ shift }; my @right = @{ shift }; my @result = (); my $index = $#left > $#right ? @left : @right; while( --$index >= $[ ) { $left[$index] = 0 if not defined $left[$index]; $right[$index] = 0 if not defined $right[$index]; $result[$index] = $left[$index] + $right[$index]; } return \@result; }
A sloppy first pass, but you get the idea.

In reply to RE: Re: Date format question by Adam
in thread Date format question by monk2b

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
