Don't get me wrong - TIMTOWTDI. But how is that expression nearly as clear as index($str,  $whatever) > -1? For the system, it is probably equivalent regarding the overall number of operations. For the human brain (mine at least), it is one less.

Select wisely the idioms you use. Others reading your code will thank you. I, for one, would not use that one because I find it is just for the sake of brevity without its being worth one more thought every time it is read.

while ( ($p = index $haystack, $needle, $p+1) > -1 ) { # e.g. (not tested) pos($haystack) = $p; $p = pos($haystack) if $str =~ s{ \G ... }{...}cxms # regex doing the tough dishes ; # /c flag: preserve pos() on non-match }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
