Re: Re: Re: Re: Symbol table globbing from object refs

Well, if it we're a means of getting responses for methods you don't know of it would be nice - most people that go around breaking it simply implement their own (see Class::Classless - i just submitted a patch (phew, a whole one line) for it to return code refs instead of 1, and Class::Object - i trust the documentation).

The problem is that @ISA is not used, or perl's builtin method calling system is extended. That's the showstopper.

Provided Autoload would provide (and export) a can, which either returns an anonymous subroutine that takes care of things, or actually loads the sub and returns a subroutine ref to that, It should pose no problem at all.

I hope that your one-line patch to Class::Classless addressed the documented reason for originally not returning code refs, and fixed the documentation as well.

For the (curios|record), I believe, after checking repeatedly, that the patch is still valid. Please review it and comment on it if applicable, on the cpan requests tracker.

Thanks!
