I'm not ready to demonstrate my proof of concept yet, but I really like how the syntax works. It's nice to be able to manipulate subroutines at the appropriate time without resorting to source filters. I wholeheartedly agree, and between the two, I would use your solution over mine any day of the week if it's feasible, but I have a couple of questions. First, can you do multi-method dispatch with that? I've been porting some Java to Perl and lack of MMD has been a pernicious source of bugs. Second, will this run under mod_perl? It's my understand that attributes rely on a CHECK block. That won't get triggered under mod_perl. I know we discussed this the other day, but for the life of me, I can't recall what was said :) Cheers, New address of my CGI Course.
