SUMMARY C<$var ?= $x : $y> as a shortcut for C<$var = $var ? $x : $y>.
DETAILS We have ||=, +=, -=, etc. These shortcuts (I'm sure there's some fancy linguistic term for them) save us a few keystrokes and clean up the code. So, concerning C<? :>, I find myself doing this type of thing a lot: $var = $var ? 1 : 0; How 'bout a shortcut for that, something like this: $var ?= 1 : 0; -miko Miko O'Sullivan Programmer Analyst Rescue Mission of Roanoke
