Does a compound statement need to end with an "else" ? I know -
if (expression) { statement; } elsif (expression) { statement; } works but I've never seen a block like that in a book yet. I usually see something like - if (expression) { statement; } elsif (expression) { statement; } else { statement; } I've posted the following code to use as an example. Any critique of the code in addition to my specific question is welcome:) I just don't see a reason to stick an "else" statement on the end of that block. http://www.nixnotes.org/perl_dump.html Thanks, Kent -- "I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it." --Pablo Picasso -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
