Subject: Re: Compound conditionals in case when statements?  Syntax?

# case
# when new_record && /^---\+\+ / =~ s

oops, yes. That's what i get on pasting without thinkig (nor testing :)
 
# Note the matching operator, otherwise $_ will be matched.
# Note also, that it is superfluous to match the rest of the
# string unless the content need to be further processed.  
# I'd probably also reverse the order since I assume 
# new_record is a local variable and that test is 
# likely faster than the regexp matching.

indeed and many thanks.
