Because you know not to trust yourself to always apply Perl's 22 + 4/17i levels of precedence correctly, you instinctively use parentheses to thereby remove all doubt, now and forever. That's not the sign of a newbie; it's the the sign of wisdom: trust your intincts. Clever programmers construct wonderously complex and subtle conTRAPtions. Brilliant programmers build simple things. Programming has never suffered from a lack of clever people, but it has certainly suffered from a surfeit of them. --tomThread Previous | Thread Next
