in reply to (jeffa) 2Re: (Ovid - Why I love nested If-Else blocks)
in thread Why I Hate Nested If-Else blocks

It's worth noting that your elsif could easily be replaced by a simple else ;-).

I would probably end up opting for:

$bar && $foo > 6 ? bar_func($foo) : other_bar_func(); $baz && $foo > 6 ? baz_func($foo) : other_baz_func(); $quux && $foo > 6 ? quux_func($foo) : other_quux_func();
Of course if you've got code in the block and not just subroutine calls that might get a little ugly. But it's dense (I like dense) and (to me) straight forward.

UPDATE: Yes, I got the condition wrong (that's what I get for thinking in integers ;-). Quoth a maven, "it's a dispatch table without a hash!"

UPDATE2: Umm it seems the "?" walked off, they are back.
