Who's programming right now?

[Phil21]

yeah, didn't know why you had the return returning a string if the value was (in effect) null, so I just guessed. Notfred beat me in the "shortest way" contest. Doh!

Perl is fun, being obfuse is sometimes something to be proud of. My little thing I made up tonight for a channel on IRC (which does NOT provide help) is this.. anyone have any ideas to make it less readable/shorter? (shorter usually being better..)

perl -e 'foreach(78,79,20,72,69,76,80,33,10){print chr}'

<< my $name = $_[0];
my $pass = $_[1];
>>


Since we all like one line declarations so much
possibly?
my ($name, $pass) = @_;
If not, I'd also like to know why so that I can alter my code because I use those anonymous lovelies quite a bit.

I dont feel like looking up ascii codes... what's it say?

 

[crackersjacks]

NO_HELP!

 

[notfred]

find nifty ascii codes, er whatever:

while ($i < 256){
print $i, ": ", chr($i), "\n";
$i++;
}
