That's what I expect code2text to do. Dump the coderef so that I can

There isn't a current state. What would you like

Steffen Mueller:
So any code that uses closures is pathological?
Hmm, let's see:

my $x;
{
my $foo = 'Hello!';
$x = sub {
print $foo;
}
;
}
$x();
Nope, seems not.

AFAIK there is no easy way to force Perl to return memory to the system, nor
This is because Perl calls free(3) (deep down) and that may not actually
return memory to the system on the same basis that Perl doesn't always call
free() when it has some memory free - that memory

I don't understand this. You see, if $a-- leaves $a as false, then:
