why?
for ( 1..2,"a".."b") { ifnum(); ifchar(); print "\n" } sub ifnum { if (/1/) { print } elsif (/2/) { print } else { return } print " is number"; } sub ifchar { print && goto CONT if /a/; print && goto CONT if /b/; return; CONT: print " is character"; }
OUTPUT:
1 is number 2 is number a is character b is character
Cheers Rolf
UPDATE: changed ifnum() to elsif-clauses.
