It's tempting to write a module that replaces *every* const op with my identity-preserving variant. But that'd break stuff that expects (reasonably) to pull the SV directly out of const ops that it created. I think the workaround that I need at this point is a function that generates a fresh readonly scalar (with specified value), doesn't wave it anywhere near a pad, and returns a ref to it. You could replace "\123" with "readonly_scalar(123)" where needed to initialise a Lexical::Var or to assign to a glob. Thing is, I already figured I need such a function, for situations where the desired value doesn't otherwise come in readonly form (e.g., readonly_scalar([])). -zeframThread Previous | Thread Next
