What does it mean to change package within a sub?
Re:Huh? (Score:2)
Well, package declarations are lexically scoped. It would have been simpler for me to have simply declared another package in that file and have the subroutine return a new object created from that package. Instead, just because of the way the refactoring worked, I had simply wrapped the package in the sub and now that I look at it, I can't see why this would be a bad thing.
There's no real benefit that I can tell, but there's no real harm I can identify, either.
