note
grep
I will often use multiple <code>shift</code>s if I want to short circuit a sub when a non-true value is passed.
<code>
sub foo {
my $bar = shift || return;
my $baz = shift || return '<p style="font-color:red">BAD</p>';
}
</code>
<p>
Again I'll note that this works only for non-true values, IOW if 0(zero) is acceptable then don't do this.
