After all, it still has to be compiled."</i></p></blockquote> <p>Naturally. But it was my reading of the OP that he wanted to be able to apply the attributes defined in the eval-use'd script to subs defined in its caller, which would have already finished compiling. Of course, I may have misinterpreted.</p> <blockquote><p><i>"Shame the function name isn't provided to the attribute handler."</i></p></blockquote> <p>That's why god invented [mod://Sub::Identify] ;-)</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
