Could anyone explain to me why this little gem:
=========================================
BEGIN {
unshift( @INC,sub {
my $data; open( my $in,'<',\$data );
} );
}
use Foo;
=========================================
dies with the error:
Recursive call to Perl_load_module in PerlIO_find_layer line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted line 6.
I ran into this while developing my new "ifdef" pragma (soon to be
found on CPAN, now also available from http://www.liz.nl/CPAN ).
I actually don't need the functionality to create a handle on a
scalar while in an @INC handler anymore, as I've chosen a line based
approach. But it still makes me wonder why this is would be a
problem. And if and how it can be circumvented.
