Thanks a lot, thats fascinating.

I can't put too much dependencies into it so I approached it with PadWalker. (see next post)

But looking into your approach, I'd like to know if it's possible to hook into the parser to implement a macro mechanism like this.

Like:

a) parse call-statements like my_call(1,2,3)

b) check if sub my_call is a macro

c) if no continue as usual and create entersub opcode

d) if yes execute macro my_call with parsed parameters as strings exp('1','2','3')

e) inject returned string as code

f) continue with next statement

Is this feasible??? :)
