B::Deparse has a coderef2text() method which can deparse individual routines. Many have lamented that it does not take closure context into account. This means that the output from coderef2text() cannot be eval'd into a routine with the same functionality. It causes problems in serialization. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern Ahh email, my old friend. Do you know that revenge is a dish that is best served cold?
