Re: faulty expression prob

First what I've though was that the parens are causing the problem like in print:

$rh=1;
$dist=1;
print ($rh and $dist) ? 2 : -2

But quick check

#!perl

sub aa
{
    $rh=shift;
    $dist=shift;
    return ($rh and $dist)
    ?    2
    :    -2;
}

print aa;
[download]

has showed me I was wrong :) But I want to point at the issue - be very careful with paren at the beginning of parameters' list.

I have stopped assuming that `print (...) ...` would always do the right thing, so `print +( ... ) ...` is what I write when there is even a hint of doubt. `:/`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
