| memetic | Good morning, merlyn. n.n |
| merlyn | that's the one I'm thinking of "marathon john" |
| simcop2387-tv | merlyn, who wants a bar made of corrugated chocolate? |
| eibwen | I can accept that print in void context probably prints to void context readily enough -- but why doesn't it actually loop? { while(print('foo'), <STDIN>) { print 'bar', $/ } } never prints bar -- which AFAIK, should go to the screen... unless it's getting stuck iterating over the <STDIN> and skipping the block... |

| overrider | when getting output from a database into a console program, is there a way i can somewhat "format" its ouput, eg, put some | around the fields so its a little bit more visual, and make the fields all the same space so it looks like an aligned list? |
| scrottie | overrider: yes, all of that is possible. overrider: it's even easy, if you know a little perl. |
| simcop2387-tv | GumbyBRAIN, mouthwash |
| GumbyBRAIN | Pudge, http://rafb.net/paste or http://www.cpan.org/public/bug/display.html?id=22001 ? |
| scrottie | override: have you now decided to join the club? |
| Aankhen`` | overrider: Text::Table? Text::TabularDisplay? |

| misc-- | I feel like I have solved the davinci code... amaaazing, I can finally login to my ISP's website to grab the site that uses dynamic realms! It's a miracle. I just had to express my emotions sorry s/site/stats/ |
| simcop2387-tv | misc--, are you using WWW::Mech? |
| misc-- | no I am using just plain old LWP::UserAgent |
| simcop2387-tv | ah |
| misc-- | but I created a sub class that overrides the get_basic_credentials and returned the credentials that way, worked like a treat |
| simcop2387-tv | cool |
| misc-- | am so happy! Thought I would never get it |
| eibwen | If I change the conditional to { while (print('foo'), 5) { print $_, 'bar', $/ } } curiously prints foobar instead of foo5bar... |
| somian | Anybody used Qt? |
| scrottie | eibwen: why would print() latch on to the 5 that came after it in another expression? |
| Hammit | eibwen: does it also print 5bar? |
| scrottie | eibwen: I don't really want an answer, I just wanted you to have a chance to hear how dumb it sounds. eibwen: or maybe you're confusing while() with for(). |
| Hammit | yeah |
| eibwen | scrottie: comma operator in void context |
| scrottie | while() will keep looping on the true value of 5, whereas for() would iterate over them. |
| eibwen | heh |
| scrottie | eibwen: go read about contexts and stop making shit up. |
| eibwen | lol my appologies... it's been awhile since I've used a while -- and I did indeed expect $_. |
| scrottie | 5; |
