Re: Re: Shortening long and dirty code

I have very little experience with subroutines in general but I think you're right, that would be the easiest way to go about doing this. Do you mean I should keep my if statements and instead of posting the same code in the iteration instead just call the same subroutine for each of them?

Thanks!

No need to keep the `if`s. Do it in a loop: `foreach my $i (1 .. 4) { call_sub( param("upload$i") ); }` [download] The code in the subroutine would basically be what is now in your `if` statements. ---- I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident. -- Schemer Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated	[reply] [d/l] [select]
