OK, so let's stop discussing whether it's a good idea or not. We can't convince each other anyway. It seems to me that the whole thing you'd need is to be able to "localyze to an outer block". Basicaly you'd need to be able to localyze some variables in your SwitchBuffer() function, but the localyzation should hold to the end of the block enclosing the SwitchBuffer() CALL. Do I make sense?

I do believe there is some way to do this already, using some lower level trickery. Cause this looks it could be helpfull in other places as well. If I were you I'd wait a day or two and if noone suggests a module, try to ask again in the SoPW.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
