In your code if $answer were 5555 then the outcome
would be nothing..
print /\d\d\d/ ? "Optimist" : "Pessimist";
This makes me more pessimistic but less nihilistic.
Whether that is a good thing or not depends on whether
you're a pessimist or not. ( And not as you may think ;^)
I guess I try to catch all conditions simply because I
am a pessimist and I've rather be pessimistic so the "hobbits"1 of the world can remain in their naive optimism.

1) By Hobbits I mean the bright and cheery non-technical people of web sites who believe they'll not be hacked by remaing chipper and that the tech team will always pull their asses out of the fire, when they ignore advice ".. so why be dour?"

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
