So I'm writing some code to perfect-shuffle two lists,
and I want it to complain when it doesn't get lists of
equal length. Which style is preferred?
# .. or warn is homomorphic to the .. or die idiom, and is
# phrased like an assert.
@foo == @bar
or warn "perfect_shuffle: lists must have equal length\n";
# explicit if makes adding cleanup easier, and is phrased
# like an error check.
if(@foo != @bar) {
warn "perfect_shuffle: lists must have equal length\n":
}
Opinions?
Edit: s/scalar \@/\@/g;; thanks
adrianh!

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).
