( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Would it be useful then perhaps, to have the ablity to mark a variable as readonly if current scope is below the scope in which a variable was declared?

ie. Variable can only be modified within the scope it was declared and not somewhere below?

use strict; use warnings; my $g1; my $g2 :resticted ; #or some other attribute mechanism $g1 = 'boo'; $g2 = 'blah'; { $g1 = 'changed' ; #OK. Same behaviour as now $g2 = 'cant change'; #Can't do this, ideally throw an exceptio +n my $copy_of_g2 = $g2; #OK. I can still read $g2. } print "$g1\n" print "$g2\n" __END__ changed blah
I have no idea if this is possible (which I actually consider secondary), I'm asking if anyone else thinks this type of functionality would be useful to have. Or if this behaviour is already available which module(s) provide it.

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).
