(this is simpler rehash of https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2010/06/msg160741.html ) I would like core's join() operator to respect the string-concat operator overloading of any arguments passed to it. I.e. that the result of join( $sep, $x, $y, $z ) always be indistinguishable from the result of $x . $sep . $y . $sep . $z even if any of $sep, $x, $y or $z has operator overloading. In particular, if any of those operators returned an object rather than a plain string, then the overall join() operator should by now have returned that object. As things currently stand, join() always stringifies each argument individually, then yields a plain string containing all the characters concatenated into it. I am happy to write docs and tests, and implement this. --- Stating my interest: I am the author of https://metacpan.org/pod/String::Tagged -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Next
