Re: What about if (my $var = foo()) { ... }

This issue was discussed -- "inside-out" -- some time ago, starting from this post from merlyn and more or less ending with this reply from TheDamian.

I would also add that the idiom could be useful even when the function is pure, but heavy on CPU. Just as a form of self-baked cache.

perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf

Io ho capito... ma tu che hai detto?

polettix, Thanks! I tried hard to find this thread when I posted this because I remembered it. Unfortunately, I misremembered TheDamian being the one providing the solution and thought he was the one asking the question. Using Super Search to find posts by TheDamian asking a question (not a reply) didn't help and so I gave up. Cheers - L~R	[reply]
