Hi everyone,
I'm working with some customizable data from a config file, and can't
for the life of me figure out how to test conditionals from an
external source.
Does anyone have an idea how to accomplish something like:
my $statement = "1 < 10 and 2 > 10"; # obviously false
my $result = ($statement) ? 1 : 0; # conditional test
Now, $result will always be true(1), because the conditional is
really, in effect, just validating that $statement is a defined
scalar, not testing the statement.
But, how can I perform an actual conditional statement on this?
What I really want is:
(1 < 10 and 2 > 10) ? 1 : 0;
Thanks in advance!
