Thanks for reply.
(URL deleted - not allowed ) It never occurred to me that case returns value.

I'll follow you suggestions after I post this.

I am modifying "standard" configuration file to make sense of WiFi errors I am getting.

I am not too concerned if the file is perfect, I just need to make my modifications for now.



Would it be feasible to implement something like this - in pseudocode ?
Code:
...
esac || if debug 

      print error code 

      else
      just print the original message

When I gain some more experience I would like to make the "|| command " as a function passing the error number (?) and the variable message to it.



Thanks

NAME
Test::Moose - Test functions for Moose specific features VERSION
version 2.0603 SYNOPSIS
use Test::More plan => 1; use Test::Moose; meta_ok($class_or_obj, "... Foo has a ->meta"); does_ok($class_or_obj, $role, "... Foo does the Baz role"); has_attribute_ok($class_or_obj, $attr_name, "... Foo has the 'bar' attribute"); DESCRIPTION
This module provides some useful test functions for Moose based classes. It is an experimental first release, so comments and suggestions are very welcome. EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
meta_ok ($class_or_object) Tests if a class or object has a metaclass. does_ok ($class_or_object, $role, ?$message) Tests if a class or object does a certain role, similar to what "isa_ok" does for the "isa" method. has_attribute_ok($class_or_object, $attr_name, ?$message) Tests if a class or object has a certain attribute, similar to what "can_ok" does for the methods. with_immutable { CODE } @class_names Runs CODE (which should contain normal tests) twice, and make each class in @class_names immutable in between the two runs. TODO
Convert the Moose test suite to use this module. Here is a list of possible functions to write immutability predicates anon-class predicates discovering original method from modified method attribute metaclass predicates (attribute_isa?) SEE ALSO
