The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: SelectLoop DSLIP: adphp description: The "select" Loop of the Korn & Bash Shells userid: YUMPY (Tim Maher) chapterid: 20 (Control_Flow_Utilities) communities: http://perlmonks.thepen.com/186913.html similar: Switch.pm rationale: This module adds the "select" loop of the UNIX shells to Perl through source filtering. Ultimately, I think it belongs in the perl core, but initially, it needs to mature as a separate entity. There doesn't seeem to be any existing namespace that's devoted to control structures for Perl. The most similar module, Damian's Switch.pm, was granted its own root-level namespace, so I figure this module should get the same treatment. Ultimately, perhaps we should have a root-level namespace of "source-filtered flow-control extensions to Perl", providing for names like PerlExt::SelectLoop.pm. Maybe this would be a good time to institute that change! enteredby: YUMPY (Tim Maher) enteredon: Thu Sep 5 18:08:04 2002 GMT The resulting entry would be: SelectLoop adphp The "select" Loop of the Korn & Bash Shells YUMPY Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=83200000_e6b4936687d420af&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=83200000_e6b4936687d420af&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
