Maybe I'm not smart enough for Smart Match ;)

It seems that the operands in Smart Match are swapped to what I expected after reading the docs

Is perlsyn#Switch statements clear???

Most of the power comes from implicit smart matching: when($foo) is exactly equivalent to when($_ ~~ $foo)
($_ was given)

and

# $a $b Type of Match Implied Matching Code # ====== ===== ===================== ============= ... # Array Regex array grep grep /$b/, @$a
see perlsyn#Smart matching in detail

so when writing

given (@a) { when (/abc/) {} }

I expect this to be tested:  @a ~~ /$b/ in the meaning of  grep /$b/, @$a

Two possibilities:

a) the docs need a rewrite!

b) my brain needs a rewrite! ;)

Cheers Rolf ...still confused...

UPDATE: Sorry personally I think that ~~ is far too overloaden with functionality to be easily understood!!!

  • 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).
