Re: Re: Possible looping or syntax error

It's true that the more code, the more potential bugs, but that technique removes perl's ability to warn about variable name typos, unless you're using a locked hash. Better to stick with first-class lexicals in this case.

Also true. This is why I personally use the following variation: `my $useful_object = Useful::Class->new; $useful_object->$_($cgi->param($_)) for qw( param1 param2 param3 );` [download] I get the benefits of hash naming with the benefits of Perl's watchful eye. (Albeit, at runtime and not compiletime, but a decent compromise, imho.) ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety.

my $useful_object = Useful::Class->new;

$useful_object->$_($cgi->param($_))
    for qw( param1 param2 param3 );
