Perl conditional statement is the result of the execution of one or more statements True or False to determine the block of code to execute
You can use the following figure to briefly understand the execution of conditional statements:
Note that the number 0, string '0' 、 "" , empty list() , and undef for false all other values are true . true previous use ! or not then return to false .
Perl provide the following conditional statements are provided:
Statement | Description |
|---|---|
If statement | An if statement consists of a Boolean expression followed by one or more statements. |
If…else statement | An if statement can be followed by an optional else statement, and the else statement is executed when the Boolean expression is false. |
If…elsif…else statement | You can follow an if statement with an optional elsif statement, followed byanother else statement. |

5.10.1. Ternary operator?: #
We can use conditional operations ? : to simplify if...else operation statement. The usual format is:
Exp1 ? Exp2 : Exp3; If Exp1 the expression is true , then return Exp2 expression evaluates the result, otherwise returns Exp3 .
The example is as follows: Execute the above program, and the output is as follows:Example #
#/ Usr/local/bin/perl $name="Rookie Tutorial"$ Favorite=10# Number of likes $status=($favorite>60)? Popular website ":" Not a popular website "; Print "$name - $status n";
