Which strictures?

    ## As many as you like each with it's own name
    *test->{localsub} = sub{

        return 12345;
    } unless exists *test->{localsub};

    ## USE IT WRONG!!
    *test->{lacolsub}();
    *tset->{localhost}();
}

So? I didn't say your way wouldn't work too.

Though it does require a distant, non-intuative (and unnecessary!) extra declaration of %test and %foo and %bar and %xxx for every other sub that has local subs--which is why I didn't go that route.

Your way buys me nothing, and requires extra.
