Re: Re: where do you put your subs

I like to do

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

exit main();

sub main
{
    ...
    return (0);
}
[download]

Maybe I'm just a C programmer at heart.

1. dude, what does mine say?
2. "sweet", what about mine?
3. "dude", what does mine say?
4. GOTO 2

See now I would write `sub main { } exit main;` [download] But when you do your main as a sub its different to doing your main as code as it ivolves a lexical scope. But this is good practice, in fact tye somewhere has a node covering a similer but more involved version of the same thing. Yves / DeMerphq -- When to use Prototypes?

The code-flow is not really logical: why do you exit before performing your tasks? Is there any reason to have the exit statement before the sub declaration? And real C programmers at heart write some `for (;;)` instead of `... 4 GOTO 2` :) 44696420796F7520732F2F2F65206F 7220756E7061636B3F202F6D736720 6D6521203A29202D2D204A75657264	[reply]
