•Re^2: Short or Long Hand

I think you're aiming for obfuscation there. The grep operator returns the number of matches in a scalar context, so you could have just said:

unless (grep $day == $_, 0, 6) {
  ...
}

I like that. Although it's a good argument for something like an `in` operator. `if ($day in (0,6))` is (to me) much cleaner in meaning, even if it's just syntactic sugar for the grep.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
