that code is not a good use of ?: at all so use if/else.Right. And if you want the single statement succinctness, use and/or: % perl -le '%test = qw(one first two second); $test{one} eq "first" and $test{one} .= " is the worst" or $test{two} .= " is the best"; print for values %test' first is the worst second % perl -le '%test = qw(one third two second); $test{one} eq "first" and $test{one} .= " is the worst" or $test{two} .= " is the best"; print for values %test' third second is the best
however much i respect peter, i disagree here. and/or are low precedence and work well here but using them for completely different assignments just to make a single statement is overkill. maybe in a one liner but how many one liners need code this complex (if needed, it shouldn't be a one liner). the code here should be a classic if/else and no other way.
