Hello, I'm just trying to figure out where I stand in my learning of perl could someone please point out any sloppy coding, ways I could better do different parts of my code, and anything you can tell me that will help me become more better with my perl coding. =) thanks.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my (@eachnum, $binary, $good, $decimal); print("\n\nEnter a binary number:"); chomp($binary=<STDIN>); if ( $binary =~/\D.*/ ) { print("Not a binary number!\n");exit;} if ( $binary =~/\d.*/ ) { @eachnum = split (//, $binary); $good = 1; foreach (@eachnum) { next if /0/ || /1/; print("A binary number contains 1's and 0's!\n"); $good = 0; last; } if ( $good == 1 ) { convb2d(); } } sub convb2d { $decimal = unpack ( "N", pack("B32", substr("0" x 32 . $binary, -32 ))); print ("Decimal: $decimal\n"); exit; } #eNd
