G'day p5p, I've got my first cut of lexical Fatal aka 'autodie'[1] (previously known as lethal) working. The code still needs clean-up (yes, the original Fatal had inconsistent indentation), the documentation needs to be extended, I'd like to swat the "don't use Fatal for subs that return lists" bug, and I want a bunch more tests for everything. But right now it works, and I always love getting feedback (good or bad). I expect to have a more polished version out no later than Sunday (GMT+11) for anyone who wishes to wait for it. I also have the entire thing checked into a git branch on my local machine. I'm still a git-fu white-belt, so any hints on how I can/should expose these changes in a better way than just a patch is appreciated. All the best, and thanks so very very much for all the excellent feedback, advice, and assistance provided, Paul [1] Suggestions on the name are still welcome, as it's trivial to change. Rafael indicated that Juerd's 'autodie' suggestion looked good, and I assume pumpkings are trumps. -- Paul Fenwick <pjf@perltraining.com.au> | http://perltraining.com.au/ Director of Training | Ph: +61 3 9354 6001 Perl Training Australia | Fax: +61 3 9354 2681Thread Next
