Re: [MacPerl] Does Style Count? (formally, 'file tests')

Sorry guys, if I sounded as if I'm giving a lecture in my previous post 
about "?:" operator.

What I tried to say before, was that I personally find "?:" "necessary"
for the reason that it is semantically different than "if then else".

The other opinion I threw, was that "code-formating/syntax variety" is 
not a very important issue and should be avoided more and more.
I think it's not important because it is something the computer can do
for us. i.e. language parser should be able to scan code and reformat it to
one's liking.

I tried to express my opinions in an informative way, so that
non-participating readers of this mailing list who are perl beginners
 may see what I meant too. I didn't mean to oppose anyone's
statements.

PS I often like to write in a formal way as a writing experiment.
The arrogant air is not intentional. Some people find writing in a
litrary style fun (which sparks warmth), and I sometimes 
try an extreme dry writing style for fun. (^_^)
