in thread Term::ANSIColor is awesome, but.. (need help)

The starting point of my reasoning is:

There is only one place where I declare the variables that I want to colorize. If I could colorize them then and nowhere else, that would be much simpler.

    You will need to split up the two uses of $name, for internal program logic and for display.

      But this means passing around both variables everywhere, which is a pain.

      Oh! I just realized, I could I not notice? eq() is an operator, I can overload it! Time to Git clone and see if that works...

        I cannot overload eq() because Term::ANSIColor doesn't return an object. Ouch. Are there any alternative implementations out there that return an object?

        It could look like this:

        my $name = String::Colored->new('Jon', 'red'); # improvised module nam +e # Overloads stringification print $name; # Overloads string comparison operators my $res = $name eq 'Jon'; $name->stripcolor;
