Your examples aren't quite parallel. The first one working with hash assignment uses parallel operations. In the second example you pass a different argument to the second subroutine. If you can afford having real parallelism then there is another option available.
my $meth = $self->can('home') || $self->can('house') || confess(q{Can'
+t determine home});
my $home = $self->$meth(1);
Which if you were insistent on having be one line could do
my $home = ($self->can('home') || $self->can('house') || confess(q{Can
+'t determine home}))->($self, 1);
I think the first is more clear.
Yet another option is:
my $meth_name = (grep {$self->can($_)} qw(home house))[0] || confess(q
+{Can't determine home});
my $home = $self->$meth_name(1);
However this last option is less optimal in readability and in efficiency.
my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];

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).
