in thread Lexical::Alias & subroutines

Thanks for the info :-)

I should invest some time in learning about source filters and later try to create a filter on top of your module that would allow me to write this as much as I'd like it as possible :-)

P.S.: It'd be cool if you found a way to bypass the error in Perl, but I'm afraid I can't help you in this. My C skills are minimal.

    Lexical::Alias 0.04 will be coming to CPAN shortly. Two tiny changes -- a $SWAP global you can set to 1 if you want to send the arguments to the functions in the reversed order you specified, and a note about the 5.8.0 bug.

      I don't think the $SWAP global is the right implementation. It's too global :-)

      What about having

      alias $original => $alias;

      [download]
      and
      Alias $alias => $original;

      [download]
      or something like this. Or at least the SWAPing should be on package level. IHMO of course.

      Thanks, Jenda
