good idea but it doens't work that way. try:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $var = 1;
$var ? ( print("hello world\n"),
$var++,
print("hi world\n"),
print "\$var is now $var\n"
) : print "No!!!\n";
__END__
it's pretty much the same as:
if($var){
print "hello world\n";
$var++;
print "hi world\n";
print "last one\n";
}else{
print "No!!!\n";
}
but it isn't the same of course(hey, there is no brackets right :-). the
first version will probably run a bit faster if the optimizer doesn't
covert the second version to the first one.
