| WeThePeople | do % define the @ ? |
| WeThePeople | huf, do hashes define the array |
| rindolf | WeThePeople: %foo and @foo are completely different. |
| rindolf | WeThePeople: note that @foo{@slice_by_me} is part of %foo |
| wlan | % - hash yet |
| wlan | @ array |
| rindolf | WeThePeople: I'm now working on refactoring the perl debugger, which uses many identical names for $, @, and % variables - how irritating. |
| rindolf | And in part these are package-scope variables so they are part of the interface and I cannot change them. |
| WeThePeople | rindolf, so you are refactoring to use $@% only ?? |
| rindolf | WeThePeople: no. |
| rindolf | WeThePeople: I mean I have something like $sub , @sub and %sub - all at once. |
| rindolf | WeThePeople: and I dislike it. |
| rindolf | Well, there was also a "sub sub { ... }" (oh the humanity). |
| cfedde | add &sub and sub sub {...} |
| cfedde | heh |
| cfedde | I'm too slow. |
| rindolf | cfedde: we still love you. :-) |
| huf | oh the possibilities, $sub[$sub], @sub{@sub}, .... |
| rindolf | WITH GREAT HUGE LOVE. |
| wlan | sub sub { &sub } |
| * rindolf | hugs cfedde |
| cfedde | rindolf: me too. |
| Yaakov | &$$sub |
| rindolf | huf: heh. |
| rindolf | sub-par. |
| cfedde | here we find ourselves well on the way to another Acme:: module |
| rindolf | cfedde: heh. |
| rindolf | cfedde: this time it's part of the perl core. |
| cfedde | No just mix in all the case permutations and we've got a winner. |
| rindolf | cfedde: there's a limit to how much I can refactor the debugger without breaking the "external" API. |
| apeiron | sub sandwich; |
| rindolf | cfedde: when I started with it, it was truly vile code. |
