Re^5: Stuck in Perl.. Partial code, but it needs more improvement.. Any suggestions, please?

I always use or in such situations, and I dislike perldocs which do otherwise, because these are invitations for refactoring problems.

Personally I use || only in

I always use `or` in such situations, and I dislike perldocs which do otherwise So do I. I also dislike the use of `$a` and `$b` in docs as metasyntactic variables as they are subsequently used in cargo-culted code and become the cause of errors. There are, after all, plenty of others to choose from. 🦛	[reply] [d/l] [select]
