* Mike Blezien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2003-12-18T18:48:23]been trying to come up with a way, while going through a loop to alternate a table cell color <td></td>....
I always do something more like:
my $i; while (<>) { print "<tr class='r", ($i++%2), "'> ... </tr>\n" }
The benefit here is that someday I can replace the 2 with 3 and have three behaviors. Yes, that's a minor benefit.
The minus is of course readability. ;) You could accomplish something similar with the ternary operator, to do it as Mike was, without stylesheets.
Ironically, this was my first thought, but I changed my mind while I was typing it. I don't think an extra line or two is a bad price to pay for understanding what's going on. Of course, I'm pretty dumb and need all the visual clues I can get.
