splice? (Score:1)

by dagolden (6584)

I think this will do it:

sub get_log { return splice @log }

Just make sure you use it in list context, though.

  Lovely!
  
  You don't even need the return:
  
  sub get_log { splice @log }
  
  That is a hack of great beauty. Thanks David :)

    I only stuck the return in because I thought you were a Perl::Critic kinda guy. ;-)

        Perl::Critic is a Perl "advisor" for me. I look at what it spits out and decide on my own if I want to "conform". I have PBP on my desk so I can read up on why it wants me to do it a certain way.
