I would agree about the parens but there is a certain cognitive overhead in disassembling (or creating) the reverse polish notation which I have always shied away from. In the end for complicated expressions I think (I would have to check as it's been a while) I went for a mix of arrayrefs and hashrefs (implicit AND):
select => [qw/expr1 expr2/],
from => 'table',
where => [
{ number => 3 }, OR,
{ 'customer LIKE' => '%...%', name => [qw/John Jane/] },
},
I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Please post it!
