$x = sub:lvalue { $y };;
$x->() = 3;;
print $y;;
3

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

    Thanks, that's good to know. On closer reading I realize I misinterpreted the following passage in the docs:

    ...there is no provision for applying package attributes to 'cloned' copies of subroutines used as closures.
    I misinterpreted this as referring to all closures.
