It would be nice to have a discussion on prototypes - from what I understand
they are not really enforced and I have even seen some suggestions on how to
change them.
As far as named parameters, I mean like most languages, something like:
sub whatever( param1, param2 )
{
if ( param1 )
I get around this by calling whatever like
whatever( -param1 => value, -param2 => value )
then
sub whatever
{
my %{params} = normalizeParams( @{_} )
but this is obviously broken as the params aren't validated, resulting in my
original defect.
