note temporal <p>Cool, didn't know that Perl supported function prototyping. Looks a bit quicker and dirtier than using [perldoc.perl.org/Params/Check.html|Params::Check] - fewer filtering options, no default values, etc.</p> <p>I am gravitating towards creating a separate file which would contain all of my function prototypes and then I would <c>require</c> that in my module. My module has quite a few functions so this might be the easiest way to keep track of them all and have a single point of change rather than having to track down all that template-building legwork within the subroutines themselves that Params::Check requires.</p> <p>Not quite as legible, though. And to heed the docs warning, I could get into trouble writing prototypes for already written functions. So I'll have to do a little checking to make sure I'm not doing anything too silly with how arguments are being passed and unpacked.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks for pointing this out [protist] =)</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
