( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Why? What's more readable about
foreach my $foo (@bar) { do_something($foo); }
than do_something($_) foreach @bar; ? All I see is twice as much to type and read with absolutely no difference to the clarity. Especially when you nest a few of those and it ends up something like
for $blah (@blah) { # ... # ... # ... if($whatever) { last; } while($foo) { if(@bar) { # ... while($baz) { # ... # ... # ... } if($whatever) { next; } elsif($snafu) { last; } else { # ... } # ... # ... } # ... } } # ... # ... }
It's atrocious. Please use a few last if ... and spare me the effort of having to eyeparse 15 levels of indentation.

Makeshifts last the longest.

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.
