Apparently not, as I'm using $ret in the second call to prompt, which crashes. Update: Ah, so I need the quotes. Thanks. Original content restored by janitors.	[reply]

Update: You have materially changed the post to which this post replies, that's not cool. See How do I change/delete my post?. As ikegami said, you need to wrap the scalar in double quotes to explicitly force stringification. Literally `"$ret"`. `$ perl -MIO::Prompter -e '$ret = prompt -num,"number:" ; prompt -num,- +def=>"$ret", "another:"' number: 42 another: 43` [download] The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
