An important part of the concept is to return an iterator to the LHS in scalar context for the laziness an array-ref wouldn't help.

And there is no context info which tells me if an X {} is nested or already at the RHS of an assignment.

(OK I could use metamagic like Damian's Contextual::Return which I never really understood, I'm still suspicious that it might be a April's fool joke)

kind of ... already in 2011 ... see YAPC talk

(well even earlier if you count in Frankfurt Perl Workshop)

OK ... needs disambiguation. I don't really care here about side effects, which is the motivation for monads in Haskell.

But solutions which "only" work with code-references and closures (i.e. w/o blessing or other magic) have many benefits ... like portability.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
