I hate this so much. Literally stopped using Perl and switched to PHP to get away from the "Look, ma! I can condense 6 comprehensible lines to one complete gibberish line that still works!" crowd.

I'm not saying I won't use shorthand if/else format on very rare occasions where you have to do a bunch of different if else's within your HTML for some reason, but in general, I try to avoid it.
