So, you want to interpolate a result of a method call, right?

Here is one way to do it

#!perl -w use strict; use Number::Format; sub HTML_SomethingBetter { my $t = shift; my $d = new Number::Format (-thousands_sep => ',', -decimal_point =>' +.', -decimal_fill => 2); return <<END; <tr/td code> @{[$d->format_number($t->{key})]} </tr> END } print "<-- SomethingBetter -->\n"; print HTML_SomethingBetter { key => ' 3.1415956 ' }; __END__ <-- SomethingBetter --> <tr/td code> 3.14 </tr>
See also Effective Perl Programming item 58, where it is described as U.B.E.: Ugly But Effective.

My mnemonic for  @{[...]} is "All Embracing Bracketts"

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
