ian has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
While reading The Camel, ch18 Table 18-1 on page 484 (3rd edition), I came across this notion of "Call trigger Policy".
I'm confused about the difference between "Inline", and "Now".
I see that "Now" applies to BEGIN blocks, and this seems straightforward. But then eval introduces "Inline", and "Call later". I believe I saw someone earlier tonight give some example with print and sub's evaluating their arguments; I believe this means "jumping back" from runtime into compile time.
