Re: really bad use of postfix

Just like to show how NOT to use postfix. I have had a frustrating
day tackling this type of unreadable code.

exec_rqst('stga2k_vps.pl',$FileNameIn) if ($a2kqual[4] eq
"VPS");
exec_rqst('stga2kif.sh',$FileNameIn) if ($a2kqual[4] ne
"VPS");


if ($a2kqual[4] eq "VPS") {
exec_rqst('stga2k_vps.pl',$FileNameIn);
}
else {
exec_rqst('stga2kif.sh',$FileNameIn);
}

It could be generated code, or maybe the coder anticipated
side-effects, like @a2kqual getting adjusted inside exec_rqst().
