Hi:
I have a HASH file that contains :
domain1.co.uk ACCEPT
domain2.co.uk ACCEPT
domain3.co.uk ACCEPT
I am using the following code to check that a key exists. The problem is
that it never finds it! What am I doing wrong???

That's part of the reason that I almost never use here docs, but the

I have not read the RFC, but I do agree that qq is the way to go for
formatted content. Or, perhaps som

Ask the usenet group comp.lang.perl.misc. This list is only for discussion
of the design of the upcoming Perl 6.

What about 'chomp?' for query but 'chomp' (no decoration) for operation?
I think using ? on method names is kind of cute.

Is chomp? just a bad example, or is there some utility in asking if a
string has already been chomped?

The query is asking what the string would look like, if it were chomped.

That's a weird use of a query method. In fact,
Excuse me for dropping this into the discussion, but
this reminds me a proposal made (by me;-) in p5p last month :
define a new prototype (") that allows to define quotelike
functions. Example :
sub rot13 (") {
my $s = shift; $s =~ tr/A-Za-z/N-ZM-An-zm-A/; return $s;
}
print ro
Okay, I think I understand how we're going to be mapping from an
operator to a function name in most cases. But what about the ternary
operator?
operator:??::
Or something else. I'm assuming something else, because there may be
cases in which we want to define our own ternary operators. (Wei
