What about doing this? return if do_one_then_two($whatever); ... sub do_one_then_two { my $what = $_[0]; if ($what) { one(); two(); return 1; } return 0; }Thanks, I'm not looking for how to handle a condition necessarily. I want to be able to: log_error_and_return($error, @return) if $whatever; instead of if($whatever) { log_error(); carp $error; return @return; }basically I want to override return to log and carp first, every time its called.
I would make do with log_error($error), return(@return) if $whatever; It's not nice having invisible control flow in programs. You could consider using the -P qualifier on Perl, which will stuff your Perl program through the C preprocessor if you have one: this would let you turn it into a macro. But that's also an unpleasant thing to do and is discouraged in the documentation. I think I might prefer it to hiding returns though.
