Re^2: Style Question: Throwaway Objects

Of course, if one wants to avoid naming an extra variable, a do BLOCK is the logical choice and doesn't even necessarily reduce readability:

my $book =
    do { Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new() or die "Some error text" }
    ->Parse($filename) or die "Some error text";

Makeshifts last the longest.

If you formatted that as `my $book = do { Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new() or die "Some error text" }->Parse($filename) or die "Some error text";` [download] I might agree with you :^). Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color. Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they *are* a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them. Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for a cyclone or hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory. Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.	[reply] [d/l]
