ack "(a)*", $arg; } if I single step through an expression like this s @x = x1('blabla') s s ... (up to the end of function x1) I never see the returned result. Neither in the debugger output, nor in the variable @x. That is, when I do afterwards x [EMAIL PROTECTED] the array is empty.?!?!?

27;sort of' incomplete because it shortcutted only code blocks of explicitly declared subroutines. New Plan So I would like to make a patch now, that will have 'n' short cut for ANY code block, not only subroutines. And that should be done without a regexp.
