Hi Monks!
I have the same kind of logic in my code, it seems redundant and I am trying to improve it, but I am running out of options. Is there a better way to have all this code in a hash and match against what comes in from the
my $item = $q->param( 'item' ) || '';
Here is the code I am trying to improve:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;
use Data::Dumper;
my $q = CGI->new();
print $q->header();
my $item = $q->param( 'item' ) || '';
my $change;
# Get values
if($item=~/test/) {
$change = "blue";
}elsif($item=~/dark/){
$change = "black";
}elsif($item=~/white/){
$change = "light";
}elsif($item=~/house/){
$change = "home";
}elsif($item=~/all things/){
$change = "multi";
}elsif($item=~/money/){
$change = "value";
}elsif($item=~/country/){
$change = "USA";
}else{
$change = "neutral";
}
print "Final Item = $change";
Thanks for the help!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
