Is more about style. I'm in the middle of an iteration. The known route would be:

put an if loop before -> to fix $variable -> and then print "something $variable something"... to a file.

I'm exploring to include the loop directly inside the print line. Start printing "something" to a file -> then include a mini loop to check the current status of the variable and then finish printing "something".

what strategy would be more correct in your opinion? "if(true){a} else {b}" or just (a||b)

(are both equally correct?)

Note: (About why not write just: my $fo; I have a bunch of variables to initialize. Some are expected to be numeric, other will receive a chain. I want to remind who is who. This is the reason to express specifically the empty chain here. (i.e: my $fo = q{}; my $bar = 0;... instead to just write: my ($fo, $bar)
