I would like to have perl-Return-Value removed because: " DO NOT USE THIS LIBRARY ^ This library will begin issuing deprecation warnings in June 2010.
Return::Value was a bad idea. i'm sorry that I had it, sorry that I followed through, and sorry that it got used in other useful libraries. Fortunately there are not many things using it. One of those things is Email::Send which is also deprecated in favor of Email::Sender. There's no reason to specify a new module to replace Return::Value. In general, routines should return values of uniform type or throw exceptions. Return::Value tried to be a uniform type for all routines, but has so much weird behavior that it ends up being confusing and not very Perl-like. Objects that are false are just a dreadful idea in almost every circumstance, especially when the object has useful properties. Please do not use this library. You will just regret it later." financial.com AG Munich head office/Hauptsitz München: Maria-Probst-Str. 19 | 80939 München | Germany Frankfurt branch office/Niederlassung Frankfurt: Messeturm | Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 49 | 60327 Frankfurt | Germany Management board/Vorstand: Dr. Steffen Boehnert (CEO/Vorsitzender) | Dr. Alexis Eisenhofer | Dr. Yann Samson | Matthias Wiederwach Supervisory board/Aufsichtsrat: Dr. Dr. Ernst zur Linden (chairman/Vorsitzender) Register court/Handelsregister: Munich – HRB 128 972 | Sales tax ID number/St.Nr.: DE205 370 553 _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rpmforge.net/mailman/listinfo/users
