Hm. In your code, you have to explicitly exclude the subs, or put them in a different pacakge.

No, I was saying that I wouldn't be dumb enough to let a loser win by saying "win" to my interpreter. That hasn't changed.

In a hash-based implementation, you have to explicltly put the subref in the hash.

You are saying that you wouldn't allow anyone to win until you installed the "win" subroutine reference into the oh-so-huge hash in your script? That's interesting.

Consider that the "back of the envelope" code with the hash-based dispatch table does this kind of checking implicltly, whereas the symref code doesn't do it at all.

I don't know what this "back of the envelope" code that you speak of is.
