Re^3: Removing CODE slot in typeglob / Reversing "use subs ...;"

Again, I'm only adressing the symptoms rather than thinking things through, but how's this?

#! perl -slw
use strict;
use 5.010;

our $FOO = 'fred';
sub FOO () { 'foo' }
BEGIN { undef $::{FOO}{CODE} }
say defined &FOO ? 'subroutine defined' : 'subroutine undef';
say eval 'FOO if $false; 1' ? 'FOO allowed' : 'FOO not allowed';
print $FOO;

__END__
C:\test>660264.p10
subroutine defined
FOO not allowed

It's the `$false` playing tricks again. `$::{FOO}` is the typeglob for `FOO` in `main`, and a typeglob can be dereferenced as a hash, and that's exactly what `$::{FOO}{CODE}` does. It becomes more clear if you add the arrow: `$::{FOO}->{CODE}`. The reason it works without the arrow is that `$::{FOO}` is an element of the `%::` hash, so it's no different than `$foo{bar}{baz}`. `use 5.010; our %FOO = (CODE => 'hash value'); say $::{FOO}{CODE}; __END__ hash value` [download] lodin	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It's the $false playing tricks again. Yeah. Evaling a conditional on an undefined variable in the absence of strict, is a weird way to test if something is allowed under strict.

Doh! I'm so used to strict I didn't even think about that it's strict that makes barewords fatal. The root node is updated to have a (hopefully) correct test. No code is too short for `strict` ... lodin	[reply] [d/l]
