I’d rather do this: say $shop->ShopperDueDate->andand->day_name(); vs. this: say $shop->ShopperDueDate->day_name() if $shop->ShopperDueDate; Any ideas?

I’d rather do this:

say $shop->ShopperDueDate->andand->day_name();

vs. this:

say $shop->ShopperDueDate->day_name() if $shop->ShopperDueDate;

Any ideas?

(This idea is inspired by the Ruby andand extension.)

(Actually it is inspired by the Groovy language, but most people don’t know that 😉

update: I think that both maybe() and eval {} are good solutions. This isn’t ruby so I can’t expect to read all of the methods/functions from left to right anyway, so maybe could certainly be a help. And then of course eval really is the perl way to do it.

  1. I think I’ve just written it. I’ve just uploaded it to CPAN, you can find it here.
