Re: (crazyinsomniac) Re: functions inside patterns

the function changes dynamically. So I can not call a sub. The script is running from a wrapper program which passes it functions via STDIN. I cant define too much in the perl code without breaking dependencies in the wrapper script. I could get in trouble for disclosing too much but thank you very much for your input!

"the function changes dynamically. So I can not call a sub." A function is a sub, whether it be predeclared ( `sub foo{return 'foo'}`) or "dynamic" so to speak (a closure `my $function = sub {return 'fooo'}; print &$function;`).
