Re^2: Named captures or positional variables

Maybe something like use revar name => "regex";

or use revar '$name' => "regex";

(Which are similar to use constant or use vars)

Note: I suspect this would create "our" variables. Is it possible for a pragma to create "my" variables in the use-ing package?

Otherwise it wouldn't compile under strict if you try to use them. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :)}	[reply]

Declaration can be worked around using parser hacks. That's what Object::Util does. It declares and populates lexical variables for the caller. (Though it falls back to package variables if it's unable to do the parser hacking stuff.) toby döt ink	[reply]
