[Solved] Detecting when an else block gets executed for the second time [closed]


You need to keep some state, and use that to determine what to print out the second (or third, or…) time around.

my $has_printed_once = 0;

# your loop {

  if ($type eq $kind) {
    # no change
  } else {
    if ($has_printed_once == 0) {
      # print the second thing
    } else {
      $has_printed_once = 1;
      # print the first thing
    }
  }

# } close loop
