Yes, the OnlyWhen routine does not "prune" deeper looping, it only controls whether your other code is called right then or not (which makes it seem rather useless when you look at it in some ways :).

As I was putting the module together, I tried a few different strategies for getting OnlyWhen to prune (by returning more than just true or false) and with an extra hook or two that could also be used to that purpose. I eventually backed off because it became clear that none of the schemes I had come up with were particularly great. So I hope to attack that challenge again and come up with a good scheme for adding more hooks to make it easy to prune (and to do other things).

In the mean time, you can use the technique, that I used in Re: Better algorithm than brute-force stack for combinatorial problems? (A::L), of having the loop specification code return [] if no deeper looping is desired.

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.
