Re^5: Simple Pass By Reference

I guess this can't be done in Perl, without using references and dereferencing - which is fine. No big deal.

Someone always has to dereference. I'm not sure, but I think you're after one of the alias modules (Lexical::Alias, Tie::Alias, Variable::Alias, Data::Alias).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

Yeah, Lexical::Alias is what I want. I'm running 5.6.1, looks like 5.8.1+ is needed from the docs. Oh well. No biggie. -Andrew. Andrew Tomazos \| andrew@tomazos.com \| www.tomazos.com	[reply]
