Syntactical differences aside, that's almost exactly how I've been writing code for a long time with the exception of the my statement.
my $newyork;
my $miami;
if ( exp ) {
statement;
} else {
statement;
}
Although now with 5.10 you could do
while ( <DATA> ) {
given( $_ ) {
when ( $_ =~ /^NEW YORK:..../ ) {
expression;
}
...
default {
...
}
}
}
Which is pretty nifty, imo.
I'm sure there's even more compact ways you can say that as well. As a matter of practice though, as long as I can come back in 6 months and figure out what I was doing in roughly 30 seconds, I personally don't care about the style.
Though, for some inexplicable reason, this always bugs me and I find it thoroughly distracting.
while ( <DATA> )
{
if ( expr )
{
expr
}
}

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).
