Re^38: Why is the execution order of subexpressions undefined? (magic ruts)

What are you talking about? Are you being deliberately obtuse? The other AM already gave you examples of lazy operators which exist (Right Now! Today!) in Perl5. They're called || and &&.

Yes. They are defined as being lazy. I know they are lazy. I like that they are lazy. But now you want to make math operators lazy too?

Well, I'm not saying I'm on a crusade to make them lazy. But if they were to made lazy, I'd welcome it. It would speed up some code, and I'm pretty sure I don't have much code that will break.	[reply]
