| LeoNerd | A codref? |
| jjore | Caelum: except that isn't the best. You get the wrong answer from that sometimes. |
| bennymack | i know that for an array ref the best way is "eval { @{ $aref } or 1 }" but i obviously don't want to execute the subref to see if it's a subref |
| mauke | bennymack: why do you need to check? |
| Randal | you have a strange definition of "best" |
| bennymack | Randal: e.g. chromatic suggested it |
| somian | Heh, there's Randal How you feeling these days, Randal? |
| Randal | my left knee is bending, but still restricted motion |
| somian | Yeah |
| Randal | my right ankle is inflamed so I'm still walking like a duck. :) my left knee is still sensitive to touch. This is a bit scary |
| somian | Like you paid so much for the doctors to tell you: "it will heal, it will take a long time" ;-( |
| Randal | yes |
| Caelum | jjore: why? |
| Randal | "there's nothing we can do, short of telling you to stay off it" to which I reply, uh. no. :) |
| somian | So, Randal, I am going to have leave #perl soon, and I'll miss our interactions |
| Randal | you mean today, or forever? |
| [delta] | Randal, mauke: here I did explain my problem better: http://sial.org/pbot/23841?tx=on&submit=Format+it%21 - PS: Randal, sorry for your knee |
| Jmax- | somian :( just ignore 'em |
| somian | For good or until things get sorted out to where my conscience or feelings will allow me to become part of it again. |
| Randal | [delta], I don't need to see a paste to know that "wanting to pass parameters to require" is wrong |
| mofino | somian, why? |
| somian | I have another use.perl.org journal article, the kind you'd like to refute, Randal ;-) |
| Randal | I suspect somian is leaving here for the same reason I had to leave irc.perl.org#perl too |
| somian | But this time it's read-only and going to stay that way |
| Randal | what's your use.perl handle? |
| somian | Past experience was too much, what with the slander and all |
| Daveman | Hi mofino :) |
| sung_ | RANDAL what happened to MERLYN |
| somian | same as here, conveniently |
| bennymack | seems like there is a way to check if a variable can be dereferenced a certain way other than actually attempting to dereference it |
| Randal | ahh somian. :) |
| mofino | Hello Daveman Slandar! |
