why would insist on sticking the information in the while loop conditional check instead of a variable?
I have a slight preference for omitting variable names if I don't really need them. But of course, if this would be the only reason, I would say in this case: What the heck, let's name the variable and forget it. But the truth is, once I stumble over such a problem, I get interested in the problem as such, because it indicates that this might lead to some aspect of Perl programming which I have not understood yet - and that's the main reason why I'm looking for a solution.

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).
