Re: goto return ?

Just need to figure you how to get the functionality that:

goto &CORE::return;

feels like it should do assuming I knew how to reference return...


nah

Thanks for your examples, however if a change was needed you'd still have to change every instance instead of the single function.

So I'd still really like to figure out how to get

goto &CORE::return;

type behavior despite the fact that you can't see why or when you'd need it.

For example I can, say, create an app that always:

error_return("Oops I did it again: $!", @return) if $whatever;

instead of

if($whatever) {
carp "Oops I did it again: $!";
return @return;
}

Why?

because say I've done that in hundreds of places acorss dozens of files., and the boss says "it needs to log to a file also".

now I have to edit every instance of it and quite possible miss some.

Or I could just add the logging code to error_return() and it would take seconds instead of hours or days and would have 100% coverage instead of possibly missing some.

It'd be infinitely more maintainable and is a basic idea used throughout Perl (Exporter's export_to_level and Carp's CarpLevel etc)

So any other ideas anyone?
