Re^2: Given When Syntax

in reply to Re: Given When Syntax
in thread Given When Syntax

Hi Rolf. As I mentioned to HazyLife, I could have used Switch and I also thought of using an array, as you have demonstrated above, but in the actual program I'm running I'm already in the middle of hash. I will try if I can do this there, however. I'm trying to do this the most efficient way and I don't have a whole lot of PERL experience. Thanks for replying!!

I think you are getting it wrong, Given/When are activated by the feature pragma with the keyword `switch` or with an indication of the first Perl version which supports it.(not a Switch module) The deprecation also affects Given/When, because of the built-in use of smartmatch. We had a discussion recently, should be easily found. In the post above I updated a link to a thread showing how to easily emulate Given/When with For/If! HTH! :) Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language)	[reply] [d/l]
