For me personally, I prefer the third syntax primarily for two reasons. First, it's what I'm more familiar with seeing and using.
Secondly, I personally find the 'condition' then 'action' syntax more 'natural' to how I think about things as opposed to 'action' then 'condition'. In my mind, if a condition has to be met before an action is to take place, it doesn't make sense to list the action before the condition.
I'm not advocating that this is 'best' method, but it's what feels more natural for me and is the easiest for me to follow when quickly scanning code.

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).
