Don't assign to $_ without localizing it first! $_ is usually aliased to another variable, and your code would clobber it. The fix is to add local to the first assignment (as shown below). However, if you do that, you've gained nothing but obfuscation. You should use my $id instead of local $_.
if ( local $_ = $obj->get_id() ) # XXX Use "my $id =" instead of
{ # "local $_ =" for clarity.
$obj->do_this();
}
elsif ( $_ = $obj->create_id() ) # XXX Use "$id =" instead of
{ # "$_ =" for clarity.
$obj->do_that();
}
else
{
$obj->do_somethingelse();
}

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).
