in reply to Currying--useful examples?

This node as well as some of the replies might have some more useful examples/applications.

Also, there's a fairly useful module on CPAN that makes use of what at first glance I thought was currying - check out File::Next by our very own petdance.

Updated: added bold text. I was just so excited by hearing about petdance's module.

    By the way, what does "our very own petdance" mean? "Our" seems to imply membership in a group. I'm concerned what group that would be. :-)

      I suppose it's possible (even likely?) for there to be clever modules on CPAN by authors who don't frequent PerlMonks, so the group I'm including you in is "those who frequent PerlMonks". :-)

      I could also possibly be grouping you into Chicago Perl Mongers, but as the audience reading PerlMonks is far greater larger than the Chicago Perl Mongers group, that wouldn't be very clear from the context of the post.

      :-)

      Updated: True, we have some excellent folk in Chicago Perl Mongers and I wouldn't want them to feel slighted by my careless choice of words. ;)

        Well, let's say it's "larger" not "greater". :-)
