Well possibly I was thinking that it has only worked "so far" and that some landmine is potentially waiting, since I haven't seen that construct elsewhere. I'm not exposed to a lot of code though so I usually suspect any original thought is either not original or wrong for some reason I haven't thought of. I usually see something like
my ($match_1,$match_2) = ($string =~ /(.*):(.*)/)
// And in my own scripts I'm using constructs like
my ($wanted_service) = (map { /^online.*svc:(.*?):/ } `svcs`)[15];
Someone asked me, what is the best way to do x, I reach for the handy regex mapper, but I'm not sure it is the best. In sum: lack of confidence and the competitive drive for perfection. AND to a smaller degree, I want more xp. Why did you wonder why I wondered? This might go on all day, maybe I'll level up! :)

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).
