Re: Agile syntax (abuse?)

I see that overload can overload dereferencing, but only for the ${} @{} %{} &{} *{} forms, and not for the arrow operator.

You have made a bad assumption. overload hooks the entire dereferencing method regardless of the mere syntax you use. If you have overloaded array dereferencing then all of $o->[42], @$o<c>, <c>@{$o}[42], etc are all affected.

Further, if you wish to call a method with no name, you'd do it thusly: $method = ''; $o->$method(...).

If you have overloaded array dereferencing then all of `$o->[42]`, `@$o`, `@{$o}[42]`, etc are all affected. May I dare to say D'Oh?!? Further, if you wish to call a method with no name, you'd do it thusly: `$method = ''; $o->$method(...)`. Well, that I knew, but of course it's a whole another story.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
