That's a good question. It isn't that much better, but that wasn't the main point of the patch. The reason for the patch was that there are all these $^T, $^L, $^V, $^S variables already. They're all forced into package main::, which is what you want, because you don't want to have to say $main::^M everywhere. And we were starting to run out of letters! So I put the patch in so that the next time someone wants to make up a new feature and use a new $^M variable, they can call it ${^Emergency_Memory} instead. It will be forced into package main:: just like $^M is.

Since I was doing that anyway, I thought I might as well reserve some of those variables for the user, just in case they turned out to be useful for someone. If not, it's OK, because it didn't cost anything.

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.
