Of your three, #2 looks best to me. It's a decent heuristic.

#3 is, I think, actually impossible in general. Consider:

my $v1 = 'field3'; my $v2 = 'value'; sql_interp('SELECT * FROM table WHERE field1 = ', $v1, ' AND field2 = +', $v2)

#3 would presumably make this be equivalent to field1 = 'field3' AND field2 = 'value', but the programmer might well have intended it to be field1 = field3 AND field2 = 'value', at which point the DWIMmery would merely have resulted in a perplexing bug. There's no way to determine which of the two was intended (let alone the other possible permutations), so it's better just to require the programmer to be explicit.

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.
