I keep forgetting to look into whether alternative
methods of listing variables
And you continue to ignore the fact that we are advocating
a programming style where you never have to do massive
lists of variables, because all the active variables are
local to the current subroutine. Any longer-lived values
live in a very very few globals, or in objects that can
operate on their own contents.
I don't know how anyone could say that the addition
of a reset feature that's more flexible and safer
than Perl's not-yet-deprecated reset
function is a bad addition,
We're not saying that such an addition would be bad.
We're saying that such an addition has already been
made, and its name is my. Variables so
declared are "reset" at the end of the block, with no
additional code needed! Magic!
We see you driving around an old jalopy that's leaking
oil and basically being a mainenance nightmare. Doesn't
matter whether you wrote it, or if you just inherited it.
We are suggesting that you fix the car; you keep on
wanting to build a bigger and better tow truck.
As before, I wish you luck. Especially because, with
this programming style and development mindset, you are
going to need it.
