Aren't you are describing an inheritance tree for variables? So you can map this onto Perl semantics by assuming each thing seen as a variable is really a pair of setter/getters. The current buffer's variable container then simply inherits from the global variable container.

I can already half-imagine ways to do this with AUTOLOAD magic as I'm typing so as to automagically provide the setter/getter pairs you need. If you need arbitrarily nested buffers, it gets difficult in Perl5 as you'll have create packages on the fly and I'd generally stay away from that, but it shouldn't be hard in Perl6 if I'm not mistaken. If you don't, esp if you only need two levels, then it's fairly straightforward to implement even in Perl 5.

I can elaborate further if desired.

Makeshifts last the longest.

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