[ fields[ 1..4 ], fields[ 4..5 ], 0, 0 ].flatten didn't work when I tried it, but I was probably doing something wrong. I'd like sth.execute() to take an array instead of requiring me to splat it, which would allow for sth.execute( [ ... ] ) vs. the annoying ary = [ ... ]; sth.execute( *ary ). Ideally, it would do something like:
def execute( *args )
args.flatten
....
end
which would allow for sth.execute( fields[ 1..4 ], fields[ 4..5 ], 0, 0 ), but I'm sure there was a good reason to not do that. I haven't cared enough to find out what that reason was.
And, yes, do..end is more idiomatic, but I'm not comfortable with it yet. I'm sure I'll be making the shift soon enough. :-)
My criteria for good software:
- Does it work?
- Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
-
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).
