in reply to default values for lists
Hi pike,
You could try using the trinary operator...
@d = @a ? @a : @c;
In the example given, if @a returns true (in scalar context ie. has a nonzero length) then it is copied into @d, otherwise the contents of @c are copied into @d.
Update: Arrgh, fglock beat me to it!
