in reply to what would you like to see in perl5.12?
- lock as an lvalue sub that only locked for the duration of the current statement (not block) when used as an lvalue.
Hence
would be a safe and concise substitute for... lock( $var )++; ..... { lock( $var ); $var++; } ... - Also share( @array ) = ( some list ); would be nice.
- And a share() that didn't wipe the var being shared, but rather operated recursively on its contents.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
