Re: You've just spilled something on your tie at lunch... Do you:

Personally, I love ties. When used correctly ties can bring a certain elegance to your code, using concise hash and array access constructs instead of verbose method calls. I know, some people have "stained" their reputation with performance concerns, but sometimes it is just worth it!

Update: Oh, sh!t. Sorry!

($$<<$$=>$$<=>$$<=$$>>$$) always returns 1. :-)

(update) ... in a scalar context, of course ;-)

Hmm.. Your sig: `($$<<$$=>$$<=>$$<=$$>>$$) always returns 1. :-)` [download] Seems like you're right `perl -le 'print +($$<<$$=>$$<=>$$<=$$>>$$)' 26088570881` [download] for very large values of 1 :-P --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.

It always returns 1, and sometimes returns other numbers too, depending on how you invoke it.	[reply]

I saw the fat comma in that expression, but dinn' think much further... `perl -le '%h = ($$<<$$=>$$<=>$$<=$$>>$$); print $h{$_} for keys %h' 1` [download] Thank you. --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.

He didn't say it only returned a single 1, did he? ;-) It returns a whole lot of 1's, bundled together for your convenience. -- Nothing to see here. Move along.	[reply] [d/l]
