Re^3: Macro-envy, a snippet.

Previously, you had one expression and a macro (that was probably defined a long way away). If you're optimizing for the count of the number of expressions, I think you're doing it wrong.

I'd rather have an anonymous macro there. It only needs a name if I'm going to do it multiple times or if it's distracting to have inline. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]

If you're only going to do it once, you don't need a macro. It seems to me that you have a solution in search of a problem. If you stop fighting Perl and start working with it, you'll probably have an easier time. :) -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com> Subscribe to The Perl Review	[reply]
