in reply to Module Design Ideas - HTML Entity Reference

Is this what you're talking about: 

>perl -E"use charnames ':full'; say charnames::viacode(0x00E9)"
LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE

>perl -E"use charnames ':full'; say sprintf '%04X', charnames::vianame
+('LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE')"
00E9

    You mean in the last paragraph, concerning tchrist's table? Yes. I updated my post to mention the function name.

    You mean the main point of the discussion? No, that was a throw-away line. I'm still interested in discussing the possibilities and wisdom of a generally useful way to prevent multiple repeats of the same list.

      Using existing accessors DOES avoid the need to repeat the list.
