I hate wantarray. It's a constant source of bugs and makes testing more complicated. I prefer methods that consistently return the same thing. As an example, I've had to debug problems like this for my co-workers a few times with Class::DBI: my @foo = Bar->search(baz => 1) || die "no baz found"; That will not give the list context return, but rather the scalar return, which is an iterator in Class::DBI. This is just the tip of the iceberg. - Perrin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
