Re^2: RFC: new.pm - a perl -e use/new shortener (default variable)

[Dallaylaen]

A ">" would clash with shell metacharacters and require escaping. I'm thinking of something like

x=My::Class:Name.method arg arg ....

instead. Both x and method default to "new" if omitted, which is at least consistent with the module name.

Hi

> x=My::Class:Name.method arg arg

I suppose you meant x=My::Class::Name.method arg arg with double colon after Class :)

But apart of this, it looks good for me!

I tested the call with -M and -m with a fake module which just print the args of the import() , using my oldest available perl(brew) version.

$ perl -MNew=X=Y::Y::Y.meth,1,2,3 -e'print "$]\n"'
New , X=Y::Y::Y.meth , 1 , 2 , 3

$ perl -mNew=X=Y::Y::Y.meth,1,2,3 -e'print "$]\n"'
New , X=Y::Y::Y.meth , 1 , 2 , 3
5.006002
