Your code shows how we avoid throwing exceptions. I think, however, it's still unclear why defined/undef &{ 'run' } doesn't throw exceptions while "strict refs".

The POD says we are allowed to get a reference to CODE using symbolic references while "strict refs". I think this doesn't mean we can `defined` or `undef` subroutines as well. I may be misreading the document.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
