#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
sub eithername {
my ($name, $dir) = @_;
my %bit;
@bit{qw(path base)} = $dir =~ /(.*)\/([^\/]*)$/;
return $bit{$name};
}
sub basename { unshift @_, 'base'; goto &eithername }
sub pathname { unshift @_, 'path'; goto &eithername }
print basename('/usr/local/bin/ssh'), "\n";
%bit is a really shoddily chosen name, but it's late and I couldn't be bothered to come up with something better..
Makeshifts last the longest.

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.
