Re^4: Generic/Variable/Dynamic Subroutines? (AutoReloader)

If compiling Perl code is slow, only autoloading on demand is faster

Again, this used to be helpful 20 years ago. ... ;)

Well, it is still useful for... what was the buzzword again? ah. "Continuous Integration" 'tis named I guess, if you replace AutoLoader with AutoReloader (PerlMonks thread).
(yes, shameless plug :)

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

I don't doubt there are still useful cases, I'm using AUTOLOAD a lot. But autosplit was particularly useful when RAM, disk access and processor speed were bigger issues.

I'm reluctant to explain a newbie how to use a rocket instead of the bus. The OP, from their OP, doesn't look like a newbie in perl, at all. Exploring all of perl takes a long time... perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply]

Googling and cut&paste is cheap, smells like a XY Problem for me. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!} Update: I was referring to > > am relatively new to perl	[reply]
