You have:
my $searchfor = $#ARGV ? join(' ',@ARGV) : die("I need a process to lo
+ok for.");
- If there are no arg, $#ARGV is -1, $#ARGV is true, $search_for = join(' ', ()).
- If there is one arg, $#ARGV is 0, $#ARGV is false, die("I need a process to look for.").
- If there is two arg, $#ARGV is 1, $#ARGV is true, $search_for = join(' ', $ARGV[0], $ARGV[1]).
- ...
You want
my $searchfor = $#ARGV >= 0 ? join(' ',@ARGV) : die("I need a process
+to look for.");
Or better yet:
my $searchfor = @ARGV ? join(' ',@ARGV) : die("I need a process to loo
+k for.");
I don't understand why that's one one line. It doesn't save anything. I just adds complexity.
@ARGV or die("I need a process to look for.");
my $searchfor = join(' ',@ARGV);

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).
