$var1 ?= die "ERROR: \$var1 already set." : $var2;
[download]

would be far clearer as

die "ERROR: \$var1 already set." if $var1;

$var1 = $var2;
[download]

Personally I feel this just obfuscates the problem at hand, but I dislike/hate statement-modifiers in general. `$var1 and die "ERROR: ..."; $var1 = $var2;` [download] To me is extremely better readable (and thus maintanable) than your suggestion. TIMTOWTDI. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l]

Personally, I despise people that hide `die` and other flow control statements. (Put a line break before the `and` and a blank line after `die`!) Either way. The point is the separation of the two actions.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
