in reply to RFC: Is there more to alias?

I'll make sure to check it out after some sleep. Meanwhile, file this under "any other sort of feedback":

my $x = "123"; alias substr($x, 1, 1) = $x; print $x;

(Does humming or whistling go better with this?)

print "Just another Perl ${\(trickster and hacker)},"
The Sidhekin proves Sidhe did it!

    Unsupported no-copy target at - line 2

    Were you expecting anything else from this? I mean, I don't see how it could do anything useful.

    (btw, the module was initially named Data::NoCopy.. I'll change the error message to "Unsupported alias target" and check for any other leftover "no-copies")

    UPDATE: I've updated and reuploaded the module with the fixed error message.

      Were you expecting anything else from this? I mean, I don't see how it could do anything useful.

      Nope, or at least, nothing useful (I'm just happy that it does not break any harder). It just seemed to my sleep-deprived mind a case of a feedback loop (if it was made to "work"), and as you explicitly welcomed "any other sort of feedback" ... well, sleep-deprivation does strange things to my mind. Sorry.

        Heh, sorry, my fault, I missed the joke :-)
