Re^4: Should I use carp/croak or warn/die

I agree that PHPisms like 500 extra, semi-overlapping keywords can be a bad thing but I've always liked Carp's interface. Taking the generalized and parameterized route to extremes is warn and die becoming replaced with error($level, $message) or something. I use Carp's functions enough, including longmess and shortmess for logs, that I much prefer having specific functions for acking around and such.

I'm fine with Huffman* coding keywords (often used = own keyword) and naming functions is indeed difficult ... But I'm still not happy, sorry ! :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery} update PS: any need to explain MilliHuffman? ;-)	[reply]

I liked some of your thoughts about "nice to haves" above and I'm always open to new approaches even though I've never met Ms Huffman. I propose some replacements/aliases– carp ⇢ gripe cluck ⇢ kvetch croak ⇢ lament confess ⇢ dirge shortmess ⇢ demur longmess ⇢ expostulate Now we're getting somewhere. I am seeing an Acme:: future here; especially if it duplicates every single function in the core and in common usage from the more popular CPAN modules, with the entire thesaurus entry for each! :P ← You can't stop me!

"...seeing an Acme:: future here..." Great expectations. I guess putting something like `use Carp; sub lament { goto &croak }` in a role should do the job (untested).

Rather two additional generic functions which are synonymous to this range of things you like to do with Ms Milli. ;p Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
