    "...the '==' has to be used for numeric and 'eq' in case of strings."

Yes, '==' for numeric, 'eq' for strings, and '=' for assignments.

Years ago, I learned a good trick for avoiding this kind of error:

if ($query_str='') { ... }
when, in fact, you meant to say:
if ($query_str == '') { ... }

If you get in the habit of always putting the constant on the left side of the '==' sign:

if ('' == $query_str) { ... }
then, if you accidentally drop one of the '=', you'll get an error:
if ('' = $query_str) { ... } # Produces: # Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment at example.pl line + 3, # near "$query_str) " # Execution of example.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
I don't usually make the mistake of writing '=' where I meant '==', but whenever I do, thanks to putting the constant on the left side, the compiler now let's me know about it in no uncertain terms!

s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
