I looked at the documentation and immediately had to download the module source code to see "how did you do that". No, not the making lexical aliases (I'd already looked at Devel::LexAlias and realized that it would be a really neat module if the interface was improved a lot -- thanks much), but how you defined a single function that automatically took aliases of multiple types of arguments.

It appears that you've used a brand new feature and the module will not work prior to Perl v5.8. It would be really nice to have this module available for versions of Perl that aren't so newly released. (:

In porting it to pre-v5.8 I also found some bugs. But the bigger problem is deciding what interface to present when it is used in versions of Perl before v5.8.

I'll post what I come up with if you don't beat me to it. :)
