Assigning using ternary operator?

Question

I am on Perl 5.8 and am needing to assign a default value. I ended up doing this:

if ($model->test) {
    $review = \"1\"
} else {
    $review = \'\'
}
         


        

Answer 1

$model->test is going to be either "1" or undefined. If there's something in $model->test, set $review to "1" otherwise set it ''

Then just use this:

$review = $model->test || "";
