`my arg3=(defined($_2) : $_2 : 0;` Missing `$`? You are commenting on modern perl. That already has something way better: `my $arg3 = $_2 // 0;` [download] `return unless my $line = <$fh>;` to me is always preferable to `my $line = <$fh> or return;` To me that is 1000% the other way around. Perception? Preference? Doesn't matter, as long as you are consistent. If I have to maintain (as only maintainer) a piece of perl code, I will rewrite all statements as you state from `action if expression;` to `expression and action;` as that (to me) is waaaaaaaaaay easier to read/understand/maintain. Nothing to do with "idiomatic perl". Nothing at all! In those case you should always use `and/or` and not `&&/\|\|`: `expr1 && expr2 and action;` `$debug and warn "Line = '$line'\n"; $? > 0 and warn "...";` [download] Enjoy, Have FUN!
