You're still not making enough sense to make this workable. (And, like it or not, I'm the person who has to understand it--if I don't, you don't get it)

Emacs has the concept of a buffer and everything centers around it. That's fine. What perl construct are you proposing take its place? A class? A closure? A method? A file? Should it be tied to data and happen when that data is manipulated? If so, then what do you do when two pieces of data both override the same stuff?

Perl is not a text editor, and text editor metaphors don't always translate over. This would be one of those cases.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
