Re^2: Convert loop and if constructs from C to Perl

You'll probably agree by now, that Perl's enforcement of use of braces for control structures, was a sane decision!

That was definitely a sane decision ... but I still find it hard to accept afterthought conditions (aka "modifiers") as valid constructs.

Yeah ... I know, I know ... it's just me :-)

(I think in terms of "if condition, do" rather than "do, if condition" .... and nothing's gunna change that :-)

Cheers,
Rob

Maybe penicillin will change your mind? /duck Heh ... DigitalKitty (or was it one of those other spunky perlmonk chicks ?) made a similar remark on the CB a while back. As I explained then, I've tried smoking penicillin ... and it didn't help. (Tasted bloody awful, too :-) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
