Greetings,
I think the feedback shared has been fantastic. In the same vein, this seemed
like a good time to point out a little gotcha I've run into before.
my $foo = params 'foo' || '';
This will work a lot of the time, but the problem is that if the value of
params 'foo' is "falsey" then it will be replaced with ''. This may or may not
be what you want.
In cases when I want to specify a default value for a form field that is
completely undefined I use:
my $foo = params 'foo' // '';
This is especially useful when creating web services where it is actually
possible for a developer to leave a field completely undefined. Moreover, this
could also be relevant for standard web usage especially if you are getting
ajaxy.
Hope that saves you some time with the debugger :)
Best Regards,
Robert Stone

It wouldn't.
You'd need to say something more like
my $foo = params 'foo' || '';
