Now if I could convince you to use My instead of MY, your scripts will be slightly easier to translate to Perl 6.
Actually, how about OUR:: instead of My:: - or is that somewhere in Perl 6 too?
Reasoning:
- Keeps the upper case convention of SUPER and NEXT
- Still nice and short to type
- Still the same sort of English meaning (this method is ours and cannot be used by other classes)
- Functionality is closer to our than my in Perl. We're messing with the (apparent) scoping of a package variable, not a lexical.
Sound vaguely sane?

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).
