Although even better would be to find ways of avoiding writing things like this, since I think they're inherently harder to read compared to pulling the condition into a sub or assigning it to a variable with a reasonable name. > Are there other cases worth considering/debating? There's oodles of stuff one can run into. Just as random input (I'm definitely not advocating that we adopt this as an official coding style), my personal Perl style is at: http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/notes/style/perl.html It's easy to spend way too much time discussing this sort of thing than it's actually worth. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
