Package: libparams-validate-perl Version: 1.06-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/lib/perl5/Params/Validate.pm
>From the docs: You can also use the "state" feature to do this: use feature 'state'; sub foo { state %spec = ( ... ); my %params = validate( @_, \%spec ); } Doesn't quite work: anthony@Zia:~$ perl -E 'state %foo = (a => 1)' Initialization of state variables in list context currently forbidden at -e line 1, at EOF Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. The example should read something like this: use feature 'state'; sub foo { state $spec = { ... }; my %params = validate( @_, $spec ); } Which, I confess, I haven't (yet) tested.
