Re: Variable Declaration

Please use code tags. I think you want (not valid perl):

my $var2;
if <cond1> {
  $var2 = a;
} else {
  $var2 = y;
}

The following would also work: `my $var2 = <cond1> ? a : y;` [download] But be careful. Even slight complexity in its arguments can make it hard to read.	[reply] [d/l]

A third option is `my $var2 = do { if ( <cond1> ) { a; } else { y; } };` [download] All three constructs are more-or-less interchangable and which one you use should be decided based on which is most readable in any particular instance.	[reply] [d/l]
