Re^2: Unlimited chaining (is there a way to detect this?)

I'm not sure you can say that.

If he provides a module for others to use, he's not necessarily the one doing the weird looping call and so he might want to detect it. So the question is valid, from my perspective. What's the best method for detecting this looped method calling?

Hey that sounds great. Only one issue. Picture this scenario: You create a module and put it up on CPAN. How do you propose to get all of your subsequent users to submit to a code review? I realize that the core of this isn't the problem for the author of a module. People will do all sorts of inane and dumb things with downloaded modules. So is the best method for detecting this a code review? -- I used to drive a Heisenbergmobile, but every time I looked at the speedometer, I got lost.	[reply]

The infrastructure is in place. You only have to use it. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]
