The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Tie::Static
DSLIP: bdprp
description: Create static variables, arrays and hashes
userid: TILLY (Ben Tilly)
chapterid: 3 (Development_Support)
communities:
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=96832
similar:
rationale:
This module implements what are widely known as static lexical
variables - variables which are tightly scoped but which "remember"
their old values when you re-enter the scope. I don't know of other
modules that implement this, though people often get the same effect
by using closures or else the infamous "my $foo if 0;" bug.
Like other modules in the Tie::* hierarchy this uses tie for its
operation. And while many names could be invented for what this
module does, the word "static" is widely understood to mean the kind
of variable that it implements, hence my suggestion of Tie::Static.
I am also requesting that this be listed under "Development
Support" or "Miscellaneous Modules" despite the fact that the Tie
namespace is so far associated with "Data and Data Types" or "User
Interfaces". This doesn't fit with those existing categories.
