Re: how to get alias name of anonymous sub?

in reply to how to get alias name of anonymous sub?

As noone seem to have pointed already, there's one important module on that subject which is Sub::Name. It should allow you to:

use Sub::Name
foreach (keys %news_sites)
{
  *{$_} = subname "generator_for_$_" => sub {...}
}

But note that you seem to be missing one more important concept here, which is the concept of closures

foreach my $key (keys %news_sites) {
   *{$key} = sub {
       ...
       # as the $key variable was declared in the outer scope of the s
+ubroutine,
       # if the code reference survives longer than this scope it will
+ retain its
       # value
       warn $key; # this will warn the value used when defining this s
+ub.
   }
}

I really missed the closures.Thanks for your remind.I heard the concept of closures before,but I could't find the usage of it in perl , so i did't understand it very much . I think this a good example for me.Thanks ruoso.

There's documentation on closures in perlsub, perlref and perlfaq7.
