As opposed to the current breakage when perl randomly crashes while displaying a stack backtrace? And users have no comeback, ABSOLUTELY NO COMEBACK, if they decide to use an experimental feature in production. It doesn't matter how long it was marked experimental for. > Also, even if backwards compatibility wasn't a concern, not having > working stacktraces is still completely unacceptable. Just to be clear here, you'll still get stack backtraces, it just wouldn't be displaying the (alleged) args of each function call. -- Monto Blanco... scorchio!Thread Previous | Thread Next
