This is why I've been ignoring it :) Even the simplest of simple filters like Filter::EOF can go massively wrong. (Multiple packages in a file? You're fucked.) Source filters should be considered a failed experiment, like pseudohashes. IMO, Devel::Declare is the right way to do this sort of thing. Messy code, but much safer to use (and more tests; the test shiped with Macrame scares me with how little it covers). Regards, Jonathan Rockway
