in reply to Maintaining strict refs while Binding a set of variables to @_ or dying if they are not defined

Statement number 2 reminds me of why I wrote Re (tilly) 1: Topics in Perl Programming: Table-Mutation Tolerant Database Fetches with DBI. Do you understand that not all abstractions are good? And some types of repetition really do buy you something?

The task itself does not seem to me to be particularly important. Personally I would take a hint from the fact that you felt a need for symbolic refs, apply the usual fix and put your variables in a hash.

*shrug*
