Re^3: Code blocks with ternary operator or trailing conditionals

... a way to 'do' it without it...

I wouldn't say this is a better way (in fact, as kcott has pointed out below, if { ... } else { ... } syntax is better for what you seem to want than this or a do block), but it's a way:

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"my $x = 42;
 ;;
 sub { print qq{Hello }; print qq{world!}; }->() if 7 < $x;
 ;;
 43 > $x ? sub { print qq{Yes, }; print qq{it is!};     }->()
         : sub { print qq{No, };  print qq{it is not!}; }->()
         ;
"
Hello
world!
Yes,
it is!

You can factour out the `->()` part: `(43 > $x ? sub { print 'Yes, '; print 'it is!'; } : sub { print 'No, '; print 'it is not!'; } )->();` [download] لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l] [select]

LOL - somehow I'm not sure that this will make my code read shorter and cleaner... though creative... :)	[reply]
