multifoo sub { $_ * 2}, sub { foo ($_) }, @things;
hoopsy hoops, right?

And now the method body:

sub onefoo { my ($reasonably_named_sub, @params) = @_; whatever; for my $foo (tweaked @params) { $reasonably_named_sub->($foo); } } sub multifoo { my ($toDo, $filter, @params) = @_; whatever; for my $foo (grep $filter->(), tweaked @params) { $toDo->($foo); } }
Yieieiaield anyone?

There is a little syntactic sugar for functions (not methods) in Perl, but the difference between using the sugar and not is tiny. If I need to pass two "pieces of code" into my subroutine, I pass them, I name them and I call them the same way I would if I had just one.

In Ruby, if your method gets a single block/closure parameter, you do not get to name the parameter, you use the ill-named statement yield and it kinda, behind the scenes, maybe, works. If you need to pass two you are, basically, screwed. But then 640KB ought to be ... I mean one block ought to be enough for anybody.

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.
