Magic (Re: Re: Discovering the lvaluable function behind the reference)

As you probably already know, I have only recently started delving into the magic behind the scenes. Do you have any suggestions for this magician's apprentice?

I think that it would be best, for all parties, if I hold off on attempting #2 until I am more in tune with the magic.

Read all the available documentation: perlguts, perlhack, Gisle Aas' Illustrated PerlGuts, Simon Cozens on modifying the optree, Simon Cozens on perl internals, My own list of interesting links. Get used to using Devel::Peek, read the header files in the source code, heck - read relevant parts of the source code. Even better - create a private build of perl with symbols so you can step through a perl program using the gdb debugger. Remember to have fun.	[reply]
