You can do this:
Code:
if(){
  }
elsif(){
  }
elsif(){
  }
else{
  }

... but what about unless??
can you only do this:
Code:
unless(){
  }
else{
  }
or is there a similar elsunless??
 
should work:

unless(){
}
elsif(){
}
else{
}

Or if you're having problems, why not just use either the '!' or 'not' operator? They have different precedence - so you may need to be careful with which you use, but this works:
Code:
if(! TRUE){
    # do stuff
} elsif(not TRUE){
    # do some other stuff
} else{
    # do something else
}
 
Thanks, I will try it. My brain capacity is too small right now to figure out if the elsif is an "elsIF" or "elsUNLESS"

But I will try it next time. Thanks alot!


Btw how do you turn this into an IF instead of UNLESS:

Code:
my $test=234;
unless($test){
   print"I'm print something here";
   }

I sometimes use it to check if a record is already in the database, but if I write this, i get an error:
Code:
if($test eq ""){
   }

if($test == ""){
   }
 
Code:
my $test = 234;
if (! $test){
   print "\$test is not defined";
}
else {
   print "\$test is defined: $test";
}
