( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
In perl5, what about something like...
my $a = []; $a->[1]{bar}{baz}[3] = 7; bless $a, "hrmph"; *hrmph::deref = sub { $_[0]->[1]{bar}{baz}[3] }; print "yeah: ", $a->deref, "\n";

It's maybe not the clearest or most maintainable thing in the whole wide world, but it's not "impossible." You could even build on it to make it more readable, reliable, and more flexible in various ways.

(UPDATE: I clicked the wrong reply button, so if there's a kind editor that could move me up a level?)

UPDATE: Oh, I see what you're up to I think. Some function you build once and applicate anwhere. I am also a little surprised your $x->$deref.

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.
