Re: single line if conditional

~~If your version of perl isn't recent, single-line if statements may not work for you.~~
I would have sworn that statement modifiers were an introduced feature. My mistake.

I notice that you're using a plain string, rather than $name, as the key to the hash. There is nothing syntactically wrong with your snippet, though.

What do you get when you run it?

If your version of perl isn't recent, single-line if statements may not work for you. Well, if by recent you mean a version of Perl >= 1.0. Quoting from perl.man.1 from the 1.0 source: `Simple statements ... Any simple statement may optionally be followed by a single modifier, just before the terminating semicolon. The possible modifiers are: if EXPR unless EXPR while EXPR until EXPR` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

If your version of perl isn't recent, single-line if statements may not work for you.

Well, if by recent you mean a version of Perl >= 1.0. Quoting from perl.man.1 from the 1.0 source:

       Simple statements

...

      Any  simple  statement may optionally be followed by a single 
      modifier, just before the terminating semicolon.  The possible 
      modifiers are:

            if EXPR
            unless EXPR
            while EXPR
            until EXPR
