I Love Perl

I just wrote a chunk of sexy (or scary) code to lookup the answer a user gave (note it’s actually on one line):

$d[0]->[$q->{number}-1]->{answers}-> [$answerlookup{$mydata{$q->{number}}}]->{answer}

I’m not sure if I’m more surprised that it compiles or that it appears to actually work. Granted, it’s not as scary as some perl code out there.

I’ve been trying to find time to work on a project to take a bunch of data and write out blosxom entries for it.
So far I’m at the planning stage.

I’m disappointed in you Alan. You’re using alphanumerics, but not map 😉
Seriously, that line is taking a while to seep into my mind. Maybe it’s because I’ve been working too much with the XPath equivalent?
