Re^2: unless vs. bare block

unnecessarily verbose. In the first example, you could achieve the same end with:

That's a syntax error:

$x=1; unless( $x ) or warn 'Erk!';;
[syntax error at (eval 11) line 1, near ") or"

Remember that unless is a 'negative' if, and Perl doesn't support if without a block.

Ie. In perl, if( cond ) statement must be coded as if( cond ) { statement; }

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

If is necessary to wear a crash helmet when riding a motorbike. You don't have to wear a crash helmet when riding a pushbike. Both true statements; the presence of 'bike' in both does not make them contradictory. Ditto: `unless( cond ) { statement; }` and `statement unless cond;`.
