Not sure i like the lock-in you get with the anon sub approach.

Personally, I see your method causing more lock-in than mine. You're committing them to a single parameter.

Of course, you can then make it an anonymous array, and pass that.

But now you are creating yet another level of indirection and nesting, and parallel data structures, all of which then needs to be mentally unwound to work out what gets passed to what.

The delegate -- anonymous sub that encapsulates code references along with their arguments (by closure) -- is a very well tried and tested mechanism used by FP languages almost exclusively. It's clear, concise and can usually be in-lined.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
