Oh well.
Her talk about Scalar::Defer at OSCON was great. Larry Wall and Damian Conway were in the audience, and both of them spent most of it either laughing or applauding. You can see the slides (called RHOX) here: http://pugs.blogs.com/pugs/2006/07/rhox_slides_las.html Still, I would be careful with this module. It works by doing a lot of overloading and tricking perl to some degree (it blesses objects into a package called "0" so that ref will return a false value). It would be a sensible precaution to make sure you have good test coverage of the code where you use it, so that if your use of it breaks in some way in a future perl version, you will know. - Perrin _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
