Except I need to do this to about ten variabels all in a row. Which gives me 10 lines with Bob's way and 40 with my very first example. Boo for that! :)
Have you thought about a simplification process? One of the tricks I do is say
my ($var1,$var2,$var3,$var4) = ('' , '' , '', '');
This way I have declared them and initialized them, so that they will not bounce with that 'use of undefined var at line X" error.
This way when you get down to
my $guts = ($use_second_choice)? $var2:$var1;
you don't need to worry about the additional bit of making sure that it is
my $guts = ($use_second_choice)? $var2: $var1 || '';
Just a thought to think...
