Hmmm, nevermind.

Actually, I agree with your LoL remark. Returning a flat list seems too low level. Plus, if for any reason a new field needs to be added, so the number is no longer 5, it would break all code using it.

Modified, the code could look like:

my $diff= easy( \@a, \@b ); foreach ( @$diff ) { my( $same, $aMin, $aMax, $bMin, $bMax )= @$_; ... # rest of code snipped because unaltered }

or

my $diff= easy( \@a, \@b ); while (my $row = shift @$diff ) { my( $same, $aMin, $aMax, $bMin, $bMax )= @$row; ... # rest of code snipped because unaltered }

Never mind the extra overhead (if any)... No?

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.
