Re^2: Statement modifier thingie

Yeah, statements are constructs like:

if ($foo) {print "Hello"};
package Foo 1.2.3;
use Hello;
{ 1 }
next if $bar;

None of those can receive a "statement modifier".

In fact, if you inspect perly.y you'll see that expressions are modified:

sideff  :       error
        |       expr
        |       expr IF expr
        |       expr UNLESS expr
        |       expr WHILE expr
        |       expr UNTIL iexpr
        |       expr FOR expr
        |       expr WHEN expr                    
        ;

with sideff one of the many forms of statements.

If you're going to reply with irrelevant snobbery, please aim for the middle of the bowl instead of peeing all over the stall.

And think what exactly is a "statement" in Perl!

In fact, if you inspect perly.y you'll see that expressions are modified: Interesting! Hence, a statement modifier turns an expression in a statement. Didn't expect this. BTW, my comment was not intended as snobbery, but because I concluded that statement modifiers are never part of a sub-expression (as the OP wanted to use them). In any case, your comment is appreciated. -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]
