Re: How to best pass on the context / wantarray?

in reply to How to best pass on the context / wantarray?

I'm probably missing something, but isn't that just

sub frobnicate_position {
    my $obj = defined wantarray ? $_[0]->copy() : $_[0];

    ... calculate new position here,
    ... set $obj->line() and $obj->column()

    return $obj
};

D'oh - talk about not seeing the forest for the trees :-)

Of course, any other suggestions are still welcome, but I guess it'll be hard to improve on BrowserUK's suggestion
