Very nice!

OTOH I use anon subs a lot, and this approach will fail for those.

Incidental note. After some testing it appears that if the sub exists when you define the sub reference, you get the first sub. Otherwise you get the first sub defined after that with that name. I tried various combinations of evals creating refs, defining subs, redefining subs, and that seemed to be what happened.

Personally I would not worry about it. But I would like it if "strict 'subs'" disallowed making a reference to a sub that is not yet defined...

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.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
