Re: detecting code referece

In general, you should avoid designing APIs that need to know.

What if $result is an object intended to be interpreted as a scalar (i.e. overloaded) that happens to really be a blessed code reference?

Even more surprising, what if `$result` is a blessed scalar with `&{}` overloaded? In general, in Perl, there's no foolproof way of knowing the operations you can perform on a reference without performing the operation.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
