( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

AFAIK, the examples you gave still pose a problem. What if you were to assign the return value of open() to a variable:

$foo = open(FH, "filename.txt") || die $!; # not the same as $foo = open(FH, "filename.txt") or die $!;

but they appear to be the same anyway ;) It's not the parentheses that's doing it, it's just the way it works. It's checking to see if the return of open() is true, and if not, tries to assign the return value of die to $foo, which never happens because it dies.

So it works the same either way, but it's actually doing two different things.

local $_ = "0A72656B636148206C72655020726568746F6E41207473754A"; while(s/..$//) { print chr(hex($&)) }

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.
