Yep, I warned you about calling that routine, now look what it did to
your brains.
Um, I shouldn't really mention Devel::LexAlias then, since with it you
can already write
caller(1).MY{'$y'} := caller(1).MY{'$x'};
as
lexalias(1, $y, upto(1, $x));
Where upto is would be a simple wrapper around my
Devel::Caller::caller_cv and Robin Houston's PadWalker::peek_sub
No, I'm not waiting till perl6 for the drugs to kick in...

If people are going to take handles to pads and modify lexicals in closures, continuations and routines from the outside, it probably means that the item needs to be a class. Yeah, I'm expecting it to be used mainly for introspective things. It's also useful, at compile time, for changing the caller's environment, but that's not what we're worried about, I expect. -- Dan --it's like this--- Dan Sugalski even samurai [EMAIL PROTECTED] have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk
