Perl Control Constructs
In Perl, these include loops and branches, but no multi-branch.
Curly brackets should be used around control construct statement blocks, even when there is only one statement.
Loops
# Example of looping in Perl with a while loop
$input =
while $input ne "" {
print ($input);
}
# Example of looping in Perl with a for loop
for ($i = 0; $i < @myarray ; $i++) {
print ($myarray[$i]\n");
}
Branches
# Example of branching in Perl with an if-else statement
if ($myvariable eq "mine all mine") {
print "You're not having it!";
}
else {
print "OK, it's yours!";
}
