Re^4: Shouldn't references be readonly?by LanX (Saint) |

Im asking about logic and you are arguing with implementation. I haven't seen a logical reason why Perl shouldn't throw an error if the alias to a ref is overwritten. My suspicion is that the ugly truth is that the readonly flag is (mis)used for indicating if the referenced data structure is "constant" not the reference itself.
