Re^2: Monkey patching all subs with a basic 'starting subname' message

Thanks, Rolf;

'Advice' and 'around' are indeed very good search keywords for examples of what I am doing, and point me right to people who I am sure have done it well -- thanks for this.

prototype is -- now that I have seen it -- obvious, really! Can't believe I missed that on my first scan through perlfunc! I have managed to fold the output of this into my code using eval; of course, now the meat of my redefined sub is essentially a string -- is this the sanest way to apply this?

> Not sure what this "meat" is supposed to mean (?) In this case, meat == "majority". As in, what was... `$_ = sub { __dbg { "Starting ${package}::${fname}(", join(',', @_), ')' } 4; my @ret = $fn->(@_); };` [download] ...now becomes... `$_ = eval qq{sub $proto { __dbg { "Starting ${package}::${fname}(", join(',', \@_), ')' } 4; my \@ret = \$fn->(\@_); }};` [download] The `eval` of an escaped+interpolated string is now just as worrying as the other stuff I was worried about! All of which, I'm sure, is the least of my worries!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
