Re^2: [OT]: This does not look like start end (grep vice for)

"...speculate on the rationale for this odd syntactic tic?"

◦ The author doesn't know `foreach` In support of which we have, just three lines past the grep statement: `my $i; for ($i=0; $i <= $#a; $i++) { next if _ipcmp($b[$i], $lo) < 0; next if _ipcmp($hi, $a[$i]) < 0; return 1; }` [download] A genuine Perlish `for`-loop written in C-style. This peculiarity and another `grep`-loop are found also in `cidradd()` at line 985. I haven't looked further at the code. OTOH, in the very next function defined after `cidrlookup()`, `cidrvalidate()`, we see four kosher Perlish `for`-loops and a properly (IMHO) used `grep`, although I must admit there is no guarantee both functions were written by the same programmer. This is doing my nut. Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

"...doing my nut." You may invite the author to some code audit. Programmers like mail from the spanish inquisition ;-) ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť `perl -MCrypt::CBC -E 'say Crypt::CBC->new(-key=>'kgb',-cipher=>"Blowfish")->decrypt_hex($ENV{KARL});'`Help	[reply] [d/l]
