我应该避免在Perl中嵌套if语句吗？

这是一个稍微更易读的混沌答案版本:

# Set sane variable names...
my ($is_required, $default, $pattern) = @_

# Convert the external string convention for simpler evaluation...
$default = undef if $default eq 'NULL'

# Refuse problematic input before going any further...
if ($input ne '' && $input !~ $pattern || $input =~ /'.+'/) {
    print "! Format not respected. Match : /$pattern/ (without \' \')\n"; 
    next;
}


# If there was no input string...
if($input eq '') {

    # Set the default, if one was provided...
    if( $default ) {
        print "+ Using default value\n";
        $input = $default;
    } 
    # otherwise, complain if a default was required...
    else {
        if( $is_required eq 'y' ){
            print "! Mandatory parameter not filled in\n";
            next;
        }
        print "+ Ignoring parameter (no input or default provided).\n";
    }
}

关键点是:

你不需要别人,如果你是退出当前环下一个

应首先处理特殊情况

使用命名变量可以极大地提高可读性
