Re: Real private methods using lexical subs in Perl 5.18.

> I'll also point out that a similar thing can be achieved using coderefs in earlier versions of Perl:

> my $private_method = sub { ...; }; $self->$private_method(@args);

still my preferred way to do it and I wonder why this approach is widely ignored.

One reason is that `my $private_method = sub { get_logger()->info('testing 1 2 3'); };` [download] wouldn't be able to report the method name.	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, there are workarounds available (there's also Sub::Name), but the extra effort involved is one of the reasons I suspect most folks don't use this mechanism for private methods.	[reply]

I'd rather inspect the caller for file and line to put it in the log. edit or using PadWalker to find the variable-name 2 levels up holding the coderef 1 level up. Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language)	[reply]
