I meant $bool to get 22, which now I read goes against the previous message :) But if < returns RHS is true when the LHS is less than the RHS you can do 6 < $var < 10 as long as precedence means that is (6 < $var) < 10 and perl uses the truth to determine when to stop as this would expand to (6 < $var) and ($var < 10) And of course if it actually returned LHS is false when the LHS is greater, then $c = max($a,$b) is simply $c = $a < $b Graham.Thread Previous
