Re^9: Function name in a variable, can't recall the concept (introspection with ->can )

> could be as simple as \&{ $pkg . :: . $name }.

nope, this will autovivify a missing ~~function~~ glob $name and return a broken coderef.

try again.

You're missing the point. I'm not proposing a solution; I'm saying that yours is ludicrous. It makes absolutely no sense to use `my $sub = @{ get_array_by_name($pkg, 'ISA') } ? get_sub_by_name($pkg, $name) : $pkg->can($name);` [download] instead of `my $sub = get_sub_by_name($pkg, $name);` [download] The implementation of `get_sub_by_name` isn't relevant to that point.

it's getting more and more ridiculous, I'm out. edit I replied to `1) What's wrong with that? 2) You're missing the point.

Yes, so I've been saying. Ludicrous, ridiculous, insane. These are synonyms.	[reply]
