Re^2: Adding Global Keyword?

The question came from a friend, who wanted to use it just temporarily for debugging. He didn't want to import his "Debugging module" in every single package.
I know that in this case "Module::debug()" works. I looked into this problem out of sheer curiosity. It feels strangely unperlish to me that perl allows me to override existing builtin keywords, but not add my own.

Look into if and conditional compilation using constants. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

I'd cheat. `sub what::s { ... debug code here... }` [download] Then later, anywhere... `what's($foo); what's($bar);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
