Re: true/false condition - what am I doing wrong?

The correct way to use the teary operator would be like this:
$redo = $type eq "add" ? "wiki_add2" : "wiki_edit2";
I would like to tell you what exactly happens, when perl executes your version. But to be honest i can't quite figure it out.

Exactly! Taulmarill has pointed it out right. You are using a compound if statement without the appropriate syntax. Also, I notice in your code that you've declared the variables $type and $redo twice within the same lexical scope! You might like to change this.
