Hi all,
I have a doubt, I am posting my code here.
#!/usr/bin/perl 
$type = $ARGV[0];
$argument = $ARGV[1];

if( $type eq 'job' || $type eq 'member' || $type eq 'file' )
{
print "yes...";
    
}
else {
print "The parameters for this program are as follows: [job/member/fil
+e] [jobnumber/membernumber/filename]";
die;
}

[download]

or in else condition shall I use 
else {
print "The parameters for this program are as follows: [job/member/fil
+e] [jobnumber/membernumber/filename]";
exit;
}

[download]

Which one is the best way? (Memory management point of view).
Regards,
John
