in reply to alternative to if statements

Perl has something similar to that. And strange as it is, it has the same syntax. Would you believe it is because they copied it from another well known language? Like all operators, it's documented in man perlop. It's listed as ?:, and discussed under the name conditional operator.

    Thank you all for your replies, it is very much apreciated! I do have on question:

    I do not have perl installed on my computer, and my webhost is running a winnt server under IIS, can I still access this man perlop?

      You could of course always download the Perl tarball, and extract the manual pages.

      Keeping the manual pages within easy reach one the smartests things you can do as a Perl programmer. It's in between breathing and keeping a supply of ice-cold Coca Cola.

        Hey! That's discriminatory!!

        What about those diabetics amongst us who have had to forgo the delights of Coca-Cola, replacing it with its insipid cousin Diet-Coke. Does that make us any less Perl programmers than the "all the sugar and all teh caffeine too' brigade?
