Re: Use method/function signatures with Perl

(I'm on my way to work and haven't had time to read through evertything carefully here, but there's a comment I want to make before I forget:)

In 'strict' mode, it requires that functions/methods be "typed" according to what ref would return.

Wouldn't it be better to run an isa check instead? This is a mistake I sometimes make, myself.

Yes, it would be better. However, I wanted to keep the initial release as simple as possible with the intent of getting feedback and bug reports so I can see where I stand. Right now, CPAN testers shows 8 passes and I have a fair number of tests, so at least the code is working like I expected. It's when someone starts using it in a way I don't expect and it works that I'll feel happy. Later I hope to fix the `isa` issue. Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course.	[reply]
