The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: SelectLoop
DSLIP: adphp
description: The "select" Loop of the Korn & Bash Shells
userid: YUMPY (Tim Maher)
chapterid: 20 (Control_Flow_Utilities)
communities:
http://perlmonks.thepen.com/186913.html
similar:
Switch.pm
rationale:
This module adds the "select" loop of the UNIX shells to Perl
through source filtering. Ultimately, I think it belongs in the perl
core, but initially, it needs to mature as a separate entity.
There doesn't seeem to be any existing namespace that's devoted to
control structures for Perl. The most similar module, Damian's
Switch.pm, was granted its own root-level namespace, so I figure
this module should get the same treatment.
Ultimately, perhaps we should have a root-level namespace of
"source-filtered flow-control extensions to Perl", providing for
names like PerlExt::SelectLoop.pm. Maybe this would be a good time
to institute that change!
