No, you're still ignoring the answers I already gave.
It's a meditation about using Perl as (partial) DSL for Ruby. Again, the benefit of a shorter syntax is better understandable within a Ruby context, where passing callbacks is integral part of the language. Mastering this technique in Perl takes much longer because a beginner has to understand prototypes and coderefs.¹ Furthermore it's inconsistent in Perl because you can't use prototypes on methods. And I already admitted that I wouldn't use this implementation in Perl.² Finally, debating about "beauty" of syntax is in the eye of the beholder, so lets agree that we disagree.³
Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language) ¹) Personally, it took me years before I started to hack Perl in this way. Ruby people have to learn it from the start. ²) Could this be the reason I didn't post it under CUFP? Surprise! ³) And I don't like your inquisitory attitude to fight everything you don't understand in mosnter threads. In reply to Re^8: RFC: Simulating Ruby's "yield" and "blocks" in Perl
