Dear LanX,
i only meant, as explained in the update of the original post that my solution only executes any BEGIN block and no more, while with perl -c -d:TraceUse script.pl all the BEGIN UNITCHECK CHECK blocks are executed.
I was wrong (so thanks for your question), because my code also executes any END blocks and even other UNITCHECK already present, because those blocks run LIFO.
Here some code to demonstrate the concept. With a script called test_of_executed_code.pl as follow:
BEGIN{print qq(1-begin\n)}; UNITCHECK {print qq(2-unitcheck\n)}; CHECK {print qq(3-check\n)}; INIT {print qq(4-init\n)}; print qq(5-main\n); END{print qq(6-end\n)};
You can now compare the two solutions:
some_win>perl -c -d:TraceUse test_of_executed_code.pl 1-begin 2-unitcheck 3-check Modules used from test_of_executed_code.pl: test_of_executed_code.pl syntax OK
while with my script you'll see:
some_win>perl used_modules.pl test_of_executed_code.pl 1-begin 2-unitcheck strict 1.04 warnings 1.12 6-end
The only way i found to prevent the END blocks to be executed is to change, in the UNITCHECK part of the original script, exit; with an ugly exec qq(perl -e "exit"); that produces:
some_win>perl used_modules.pl test_of_executed_code.pl 1-begin 2-unitcheck strict 1.04 warnings 1.12
But, considering the LIFO aptitude of the UNITCHECK blocks, i can do it better and change eval $begin.$content; with eval $content.$begin; producing:
some_win>perl used_modules.pl test_of_executed_code.pl 1-begin strict 1.04 warnings 1.12
Thanks for the opportunity to learn something more.
