Apologies if I'm misunderstanding something here, but isn't the following code assigning to a glob? `{$package . "::" . $name} = sub :lvalue {` [download] True, but that wasn't what I was referring to. The above is only executed once. The concern was with the following line in the original code that was executed every time the method was called: `local call = sub { $self->{$name}->(@_); };` [download] By removing that line, my suggested code should not suffer from the method cache reset performance penalty that occurs each time the method in the original code is called. Remember: There's always one more bug.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
