Okay, that one is nixed.

How so? I don't use closures that often so maybe I'm missing
something, but it seems to me that there isn't any similarity
at all. The purpose of my module is to save a few characters.
Instead of:
sub xyz {
code
}
" some string @{[ xyz(abc) ]} "
You have
use my_module;
tie %xyz, 'my_module',
sub {
code
};
" some string $xyz{abc} "
Useful if you're going to want to interpolate a function a lot.
Worse that useless otherwize.
