How is RFC 122 different from RFC 15? Seems like they accomplish a
similar thing but RFC 15 is a much more Perlish approach. The problem
with RFC 15 is that it's titled "stronger typing though tie", which
implies that tie should be used, but it probably shouldn't be.
As to the struct syntax, I believe the Perl equivalent should look more
like:
use types;
$rec = struct {
int($a, $b, $c);
float($d, $e, $f);
};
Since Perl variables aren't barewords and I would assume that int()
would bind as tightly as my(). Also note I threw in a 'use types' pragma
there.
