Re^3: code reference in YAML

Update: Both solutions below are better. I didn't think of how ugly "local ... if ...;" was.

If you want to make the warning go away without disabling warnings, you could reference the variable twice, like so:

local $YAML::UseCode = 1 if ! defined $YAML::UseCode;

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

I cringe at "`local ... if ...;`". It looks too much like illegal "`my ... if ...;`" for my taste. Alternative: `$YAML::UseCode if 0; # Silence spurious warning. local $YAML::UseCode = 1;` [download] I filed a bug report.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I like: `local $YAML::UseCode; $YAML::UseCode = 1;` [download] better. True laziness is hard work	[reply] [d/l]
