Re: What I Most Recently Learned in Perl, But Should Have Already Known

in reply to What I Most Recently Learned in Perl, But Should Have Already Known

I was aware of this:

my $indent = ' 'x5;
# Yields '     '

But didn't realize I could also do this:

my @list = (1)x5;
# Yields (1,1,1,1,1)

So I can stop doing this:

  @placeholders = map {'?'} @columns;

And start doing this:

  @placeholders = ('?')x @columns;
