Re: Handling braces with methods without arguments

Every method receives at least one argument: itself.

So an 'argumentless' method is akin to a function that takes only one argument. Like close, flush, tell etc. for us on files.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

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.

Thank you for your correction. I just inserted the word 'explicit' to my question.	[reply]

Thank you for your correction. I just inserted the word 'explicit' to my question. That implies that you still consider this an open question? I ask, because I thought I answered your question even in its modified form. Some commands take arguments: `$you->doTheShopping( shoppingList )` requires the list. (I'm aware that "retail therapy" can and often does rely entirely on impulse buying; but that's not 'the shopping' :) Some commands don't need arguments: `$you->comeHomeNow` (Well, you can and often do try arguing, but where did it ever get you :) Whilst some of that is humour, the point is serious.

Having just seen tobyink's answer, maybe I completely misread your question? If so, I apologise.

No need to apologize. The second answer amused me, so it was worthwhile anyway. It all just showed that my English is not as good as it should be and that language - like perl itself - is contextsensitiv. Best regards McA	[reply]
