I would not write it that way. To me it feels like the matching is made something of an afterthought because it is 'hidden' in the second half of the line. So I wouldn't use that style. It's similar to `open ......stuff....more stuff......... or die $! vs. open ......stuff....more stuff......... or die $!` [download] (Basically I like to make it hard to overlook something important when glancing at some piece of code. Even if that results in a slightly increased line count.)	[reply] [d/l]
