Need Help??

It's such a common combination of operations that it's even got a name: the baby cart.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

Excellent, tobyink! I enjoy what it says there: Discovered by Larry Wall, 1994. It's the Discovered part that's intriguing...	[reply]

A number of Perl's "features" are actually bugs that were discovered, found to be useful and have been documented and carefully preserved. One that springs to mind is that `s/.../.../ee` evaluates twice, `s/.../.../eee` evaluates thrice, etc. I have a feeling that the baby cart is one of these. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
