Re: Re: where do you put your subs

[ajwans]

I like to do

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

exit main();

sub main
{
    ...
    return (0);
}

Maybe I'm just a C programmer at heart.



1. dude, what does mine say?
2. "sweet", what about mine?
3. "dude", what does mine say?
4. GOTO 2

See now I would write

sub main
{
}

exit main;

But when you do your main as a sub its different to doing your main as code as it ivolves a lexical scope. But this is good practice, in fact tye somewhere has a node covering a similer but more involved version of the same thing.

The code-flow is not really logical: why do you exit before performing your tasks? Is there any reason to have the exit statement before the sub declaration?

And real C programmers at heart write some for (;;) instead of ... 4 GOTO 2 :)
