Re: Useless use of string in return statement

I get:

Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at noname.pl line
+ 23.
Useless use of string in void context at noname.pl line 23.
[download]

for the return $result{'message'} ... line, which makes sense. Remember or is low precedence so the compiler sees:

(return $result{'message'}) or "$result{'api-key'}:$result{'session'}"
+;

High precedence || would fix the problem

Update: note that I'm using Perl v5.32.0.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond

I can never remember the rules of precedence, so I just remove the relevance of such considerations by using brackets to make my intentions clear: `C:\>perl -MO=Deparse,-p -e "return $x or $y" ((return $x) or $y); -e syntax OK C:\>perl -MO=Deparse,-p -e "return ($x or $y)" (return ($x \|\| $y)); -e syntax OK` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
