At lest I like the idea. Seems like English.
I don't care for the speed(other wise I would use C/C++), running all the scripts where I work takes some hours and so this will not be a big overhead. I didn't think in the "if ($this{big}->[$idx]{thing} in @set) { ... }" before I sent the e-mail. To this I have to think in function as well. Like I seed this seems to ease. For the rest of the answers. I didn't know "List::Util", but I have something done by myself. Probably everyone that don't know this module has one. Now the grep I use grep some times, but I always have to sink to understands what is doing if I have a block. So instead of "in ($xxx => "a", 5)" I would have "grep {($xxx cmp $_) == 0} ("abc", 5)" or "grep {not ($xxx cmp $_)} ("abc", 5)". Am I the only one with this problem? The OO approach is out of question. Object are good for simplifying code, in this case I don't see any simplification.

Well, although it's overkill, Quantum::Superpositions has a 'any' function that can be used like so: if ($x == any(1, 4, 9, 16)) { ... } But Q::SP is a really big module, and won't work as efficiently as it theoretically should. >sub in { > my $match = shift; > foreach (@_) { > return 1 if $match eq $_; > } > return 0; >} That's a very succinct function, and probably the best way to write it. >package MyFilter; >use Filter::Simple; >use vars qw (@ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK); > >require Exporter; >push(@ISA, qw(Exporter)); >@EXPORT_OK = qw(in); > >FILTER_ONLY code => sub { > my $ph = $Filter::Simple::placeholder; > s/(((\$[a-zA-Z_0-9]+)|\-?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?|$ph))\sin\s/in $1, /g; > }; >This seems to work. >Can someone test some more and give some bugs? >Is there a generic module for doing operators? I've never used Filter::Simple, so I don't know what $ph is representing, so I'd like to know if your module can handle if ($this{big}->[$idx]{thing} in @set) { ... } -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
