( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

You'll see the downsides of that approach as soon as you reach blocks F, G and H, which do the "same as .. with ..", which clearly looks like you want to have block C as a function, taking cartein arguments, being called from certain points of your main program with different parameters. I mean, you could write your block-based program and then refactor out all the redundant stuff that you find. Personally, i'd try to find the obvious things before and not write block-stuff at all.

Perhaps writing a subroutine for each block may help. While you write each sub, try to make it as flexible as possible. Finally you only need a main script, keeping the main program's state variables and calling the subs accordng to the overall logic.

You might want to think of an OO model for your data, not only refactoring to subs, but to classes and methods. The main program does then not just keep state "variables", but objects, which you might want to reuse somehwere else...

I'm sure you won't need named blocks in the end, only "if", "while" and subroutines. No redo, but tail recursion.

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.
