Re: Contextual::Return and Want, any major difference?

I haven't tried them, but I think you've summarized the difference accurately.

I might add that Contextual::Return mimics Perl 6 way of context flow. In Perl 6, a subroutine cannot know in which context it is called in (that information is not computable), so the way react to context is returning object that behave smartly according to the context they are used in.

According to TheDamian, Contextual::Return is "safe, robust, and handy, and which Damian regularly uses in his own deployed code".

Perl 6 - second systems done right

Wow, that IS a big difference, thank you Dean. That makes me want to use Contextual::Return. Apparently Contextual::Return also enables to use "active" values, by using the VALUE keyword.	[reply]
