Re^7: Can I check if a loop's scope is entered for the first time? (Devel::Callsite)

Wouldn't it be better to wrap the hard paddle?

    sub each_value (&);
    ...
    while (my ($a) = each_value {countdown($limit)}) {
        print $a, ':';
    }

No question. It would definitely be better. Unfortunately, there's no way to give `each_value()` a prototype that allows it to also take a thunky block as an argument...in addition to all the other argument types (hash, array, reference) it currently takes. The current declaration is: `sub each_value (+) {...}` [download] but, to be able to accept a block it would require: `sub each_value (&) {...}` [download] and there's no prototype marker than allows both. :-( Damian	[reply] [d/l] [select]
