According to
Prototypes in
perlsub it's possible:
sub mygrep (&@) mygrep { /foo/ } $a, $b, $c
However, I seem to remember a thread a few months back where a monk said it was not worth the hassle. Example lifted from the docs:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
sub mygrep (&@) {
my $code = shift;
my @result;
foreach $_ (@_) {
push(@result, $_) if &$code;
}
@result;
}
print join "\n", mygrep { /a/ } qw(cat hat bed den);
Update: I did some searching , but did not uncover the article I was thinking of. I did come across some thoughts from GrandFather, but they did not contain a compelling argument, at least to my eyes.
Update 2: And disregard the above. Somehow I hadn't processed the word "method" from the above.
