Sorry, I was distracted by the versions with a sub AUTOLOAD too, and missed
that.

Nicholas Clark

I agree with that assessment. However:

Aren't all the current cases that the change forbids, cases where the goto
will fail at run time? ie the current bug already prevents the code from
running.

(My argument falls apart completely if it can be demonstrated that there is
working-as-programmer-intended code that stops working with this change in)

Rafael pointed out on IRC that I'm confusing 'A' and 'P'.
It's not 'A'.*

The confusion arose because I mis-interpreted
"make public the function regcurly()"

Nicholas Clark

Does regcurly really need to be part of the public API?
ie instead of 'P', can it be 'p', non-static, but private.
