This is already heading down the dangerous path. Why are you using
a symbol-table variable if you don't want a symbol-table variable?
If you want something temporary:
{
local *main::input;
$status = whatever->ReadParse(*main::input);
... use %main::input;
}
But the evilness of that ReadParse word is making me shudder already.
That's so... uh... perl4-ish.
