Perl Breaking out of an If statement

Question

This one just came up: How do I break out of an if statement? I have a long if statement, but there is one situation where I can break out of it early on.

Answer 1

I tend to use sequential if-statements based on a "do I continue?" variable instead. Your

if ( $condition1 ) {
  blah, blah, blah;
  if ( not $condition2 ) {
     blah, blah, blah;
     if ( not $condition3 ) {
        blah, blah, blah;
     }
  }
}

can be rearranged to

my $ok = $condition1;
if ($ok) {
  blah, blah, blah;
  $ok = not $condition2;
}
if ($ok) {
  blah, blah, blah;
  $ok = not $condition3;
}
if ($ok) {
  blah, blah, blah;
}
