I think something like: if( $_[1] ) ? $m = $_[1] : $m ='text/plain';
might work. Try looking up the perl 'trinary' operator. "Dan Muey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] com... Hello What I want to do is assign the value of $_[1] to $m unless it's empty then assign it 'text/plain' This currently works but I want to do a one liner I think you can do that with a colon but I can't seem to find the syntax $m = 'text/plain'; $m = $_[1] unless(!$_[1]); Somehting like $m = $_[1] unless(!$_[1]) :$m = 'text/plain'; But I can get it right, any assistance would be much appreciated.
