  • That’s old hat. :-) And you could always verify things with just B::Deparse itself.

    What would be really cool is if someone came up with a way to supply

    sub assert(&) { shift->() or croak "Assertion failed" }

    to module client code, and then included a way to walk the caller’s optree and slice out all the calls to this function when the code is not running in debug mode, preferrably with respect to lexical scopes, and signified by import/unimport – to the overall effect of making this work as if it was a pragma, using use assertions and no assertions.

    (Now that I think about it… isn’t Perl 5.10 supposed to have assertions?)
