in reply to Re^4: Use reference for functions in functions
in thread Use reference for functions in functions

When you want to have the same function react differently based on the amount of arguments...

If you were talking about C++ code, I'd understand perfectly what you were talking about: function overloading based on differing function signatures (prototypes). As you are talking about Perl code, I don't. I still imagine two functions  F with different prototypes that are differentially invoked based on differing argument lists, and that doesn't work in Perl.

Can you give a short, standalone, runnable example of what you were doing?
