ok. i thought the value from the last if expression would be some sort of special variable in the local block. nice to know there's not.
Well, not that nice, but I've never really felt the lack of such a beast. OTOH you can do an aliasing in a syntactically sweet enough way as hinted at the very end of my other reply.
typically more people here yell at me (and others) for writing " return $var " than " $var "
Right! it's a very common and unambiguous perlism. I'm all with you, as you can see in my comment to his reply.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
