Syntax issue (I think),
I'm trying to do the following:
I need to execute a block of instructions for all items in an array
except for one.
So if my array was:
@a=(1,2,3,4,5);
And we assume that I don't want to execute the block if the value of $_
is 3 ...
Then, in my head, I'm looking for the WORKING (key word there) version
of this:
-----------
@a = (1,2,3,4,5);
if ($_ != 3) for (@a)
{
print "something";
&doSomething();
print "somethingelse";
&yada($yada{$ya})
}
-------------
But that if ... for line doesn't work.
Neither does:
------------------------
for (@a, $_ != 3) {}
------------------------
Anyone got any ideas? I've always done this by running a standard for
loop and having an if condition inside the loop .. but that seems
inefficient to me right now and I'm looking for the easier way.
