Re: private recursive subroutines

Interesting. How would you escape from the recursive? Or, could you please give a real example of usage?

Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can. Yet, share and enjoy!

There's one here. Look for the comment saying "yay for recursive closures" :-)	[reply]

I don't think that showing my real-world example would have much point. I just had a very complicated subroutine where I wanted to refactor some code to a separate sub. I didn't want to pollute the package's namespace with another function name, so I used a my $coderef. And it turned out to be a good task for recursion, so here we go.	[reply]
