Module upgrades may not be likely, but I was responding to the first

"...I suspect there are better methods that won't break with a future
version of IO::All."

There is always a risk when working with the internals of another module.
I would minimize that risk by making sure that the DESTROY that you are
replacing always runs. Just in case something gets added to it. And
capture the reference to it in a way that will notice if DESTROY is
eliminated.

I didn't read those articles, but then they wouldn't have been aimed at me.
The only trick is that you have to load those modules and have an import
method that calls their import method. If you're exporting specific
functions into their namespace, the best way to do so is to import those

Just so that you know, it is very hard to find a use case for linked
lists in Perl where a native array is not a better option. That said,
why draw a distinction between a node in a linked list and a linked
list? I would just have one class, that is a reference to a node.

What our does is binds the package variable to lexical scope. So a
package after an our doesn't change the variable. But if you have the

Sounds like you're suffering from buffering:
http://perl.plover.com/FAQs/Buffering.html
The only way to solve your problem is to convince the program that it
should not buffer its output. Sometimes you'll have a command switch
you can hit to force that (particularly if you wrote those programs).
For him to discuss it off list would be pointless because his emails
will bounce until he goes through the confirmation. At which point he
won't have spam to deal with.
