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

I can tell by looking at this sub that this it does not look like the type of elegant solutions I've seen on this site. What I'm trying to accomplish here is the following:

Call an object as Dice->grab('3d6s') Where the number before 'd' is one argument, the number after 'd' is and argument and the 's' is an optional argument. I've gotten it to work, but I can tell by looking at it that there is probably a more efficient way to accomplish it.

sub grab { my $init = shift; my $class = ref($init) || $init; if ( shift =~ m/(^\d+)d(\d+)(.*)/i ) { my ( $type, $face, $qty, @dice ); $qty = $1; $type = $2; $face = $3; for ( my $i=1; $i <= $qty; $i++ ) { if ( $face =~ m/s$/i ) { push( @dice, Die->get($type,1) ); } else { push( @dice, Die->get($type) ); } } return bless { dice => \@dice }, $class; } else { croak "Invalid parameters to Dice::Dice->grab: $!"; } }

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.
