As mst pointed out, this construct _will_ warn in 5.10. If there should ever be a 5.12, it might be upgraded to an error there, as 5.9.4 has backported the p6 "state" keyword for function static vars, making the hack entirely unnecessary :) Andrew _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
