Hi ..... very trivial ... is there a way or correct syntax to add an 'if' tp
the following 'unless' statement?

# this works fine ...
print "first\n" unless ($counter);
# ... but can I do something like....
print "first\n" unless ($counter) else { print "second\n";
# (syntax error)

I know I can do this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my $counter = 0;

unless ($counter) {
    print "first\n";
} else {
    print "second\n";
}

.... but I wanted to put the 'unless' later in the statement.  I couldn't
find anything in the FAQ or perldoc on this one.

TIA!

-JW
