Re^2: How to best pass on the context / wantarray?

Something like this was my first idea too, but that doesn't preserve the calling context - wantarray will always be defined in ->_get_self. jdporter's method would solve that problem of course, by inspecting the context one calling level higher.

I don't think you want the calling context thing. I've been trying to figure out how I would use your proposed API and all it's doing is confusing me. Grandfather said it right. 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]

_get_self() doesn't need to have the same context as its caller, it just needs to know the context of its caller. So it is as simple as: `my $self= shift(@_)->_get_self( wantarray );` [download] - tye	[reply] [d/l]
