No, not at all. On reflection, I'd like to have a development environment
that keeps track of the modification times on all subroutines and the tree
of what subroutines call what subroutines, allowing a magic invocation
such as
perl -MWhadeyedoo launcher.pl
to suggest places to look at when things break after an interface change.
svn diff
is pretty close, but does require a little care and feeding.
The level of machine-based mindreading required to correctly determine
when to automatically correct nondisindirection of an arrayref is clearly left
to dreams.
