( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
While nested if statements look a mess, the unfortunate truth is that this is really the way decisions are made by humans.

If my car starts, I'll go to work, If net nets up, I'll check email and read PM, If there's a good thread, I'll read it, etc. . . . ..

The problem with a one-dimensional dispatch table, is that the operations in the outermost nests need to be replicated into much of the table entries, which require programatically building complicated hashes, futhur sacraficing readability.

I'm not sure how to build a "multi-dimensional" dispatch table where say the "rows" have one set of functions and the "columns" have another, without programatically building the subroutines.

say $daysactions{$morning_situation}{$afternoon_situation}=\&listofstufftodotodaygivenmorningandafternoonsituations;

Any ideas?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
