Oh, snap! I'm just in the middle of writing a more general solution to
the same problem, which I've currently got at
http://github.com/mauzo/perl/tree/blocks . My idea was not to use a
special variable, but rather a new special block, SCOPECHECK, which gets
called at the end of compiling the current scope. My intention was to
implement ENTER/LEAVE/&c. from Perl 6 at the same time.
Module like B::H::EOS would need a way to install these SCOPECHECK
blocks into the calling scope, of course, so I've also written a
Block::Util module that knows how to do that. My proposal was going to
be that this be dual-life, and hold the best-effort hacks (like the %^H
hack) for implementing these semantics on older perls. That way they're
under the pumpking's eye, and if something in maint breaks them we get
notice and can fix it.
It's a shame I missed your comment on #p5p: I'm afraid I don't really do
IRC.
