Nice work brother stephen. I do have a small comment on your example for "Choose." You are effectively using the hash as a replacement for a switch statement (since Perl doesn't have a builtin switch). For this type of use I would recommend taking a look at Damian Conway's Switch module. It allows you to use a real switch statement with all the power of perl for the case comparisons (e.g. it's not limited to integer case values like the C switch statement). Damian stated at YAPC America::North 2001 that his switch module was going to be added to the Perl core so I would presume it's a fairly "safe" module to use. Regards,
Rhet

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).
