Re^2: Would you use a switch instead?

And, of course, foreach-loop topicalization can also be combined with the original nested ternary expression, although definition and initialization of the variable $foo are no longer so closely tied together:

>perl -wMstrict -le
"my $value = 'bbb';
 my $foo;
 for ($value) {
   $foo = /aaa/ ? 'wanna'
        : /bbb/ ? 'be'
        : /ccc/ ? 'startin'
        :         'somethin'
        ;
   }
 print $foo;
"
be

but of course we always use an explicit lexical as a loop variable so there's no gain there is there? ;) True laziness is hard work	[reply]

Then don't use a for loop? `my ($foo) = map { /aaa/ ? 'wanna' : /bbb/ ? 'be' : /ccc/ ? 'startin' : + 'somethin' } $value;` [download] -- Online Fortune Cookie Search Office Space merchandise	[reply] [d/l]
