in thread Calling a sub from a variable ?

Why so surly Zur?
You did ask for advice in a way that had people responding.
You got responses
You didn't care for a response/someone didn't respond the way you wanted them to so, now you jump on them?
Your last line should have been your first in this response
I know, I know, you don't need me to boss you around etc., I here by acknowledge myself appropriately chastised.

Enjoy!

    I know , I tend to be a little bit on the agressive side sometimes, but i was the one feeling jumped upon.
    Maybe one should be carefull before giving such advice ...

    And you do note that the IO comment is interesting but wrong .
    i know it's no reason to get nervous, i'm just over-reactive sometimes ... well

      Actually, the I/O comment by AnonyMonk is correct in most situations. Now, it may not be correct in your specific setup, but I would have done some Benchmarks before making an offhand comment like that. Or, maybe I would have used Devel::DProf to determine what was taking up a lot of time in my application - I/O or eval.

      Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
      Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
      Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
      Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

        I don't know, dragonchild .
        Unix logics make me think that the evaled code would be in memory as soon as the second call to eval on the same function . I'd say the IO argument stands only if you eval things only once .
