Re: Re: Confused.... question on code scalability (reusing functions, etc)

Two minor and probably utterly useless nitpicks.

I would suggest standardizing on which negator you are going to use. Not or !.
You really don't need parens around every single item in an if statement. if(($foo) and (not($baz=~/qux/))) is surely much easier to read as if($foo and not $baz=~/qux/)

About "standardizing on which negator you are going to use. Not or !."... ...that depends on the intent of expression evaluation. Word operators (not, and, or) bind rather loosely than otherwise (!, &&, \|\|). Just consider the output of the following... `perl -e 'print join(" ", (!0 && 0) , (!0 and 0) , (not 0 && 0) , (not +0 and 0))'` [download] It is ill advised to ask a beginner to standardise on a negator, as you put it, without mentioning the operator precedence level.
