Fellow Monks,
I have both a quick question and then an extended question.
First things first. I want to pass a value to a class method. If the value is undef, then I want it to immediately return undef. This is generally something that I'd look up in the Camel book, but since it is not around, please help:(. I am torn between
#This
my $RootDirectoryCanidate= shift() or return undef();
#and That
my $RootDirectoryCanidate= shift() || return undef();
The question is which one should I use to accomplish my requirement?
Second things second
\\//\\//hy would one be better than the other. I have a vague memory relating to precedence, but (as you can tell since I am asking) I can remember it:<

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.
