This and other RFCs are available on the web at http://dev.perl.org/rfc/ =head1 TITLE C<$^C> should be true when compiling =head1 VERSION Maintainer: Simon Cozens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 25 Sep 2000 Mailing List: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Number: 305 Version: 1 Status: Developing =head1 ABSTRACT C<$^C> should be true when compiling, not just when the C<-c> flag is set. =head1 DESCRIPTION The idea of C<$^C> is that it allows programs to change their behaviour when being compiled. However, the way it's implemented means it's only true when the C<-c> flag is given on the Perl command line. At the moment, there's no way of telling whether you're in a C<BEGIN> block or not, and there ought to be. =head1 IMPLEMENTATION Make C<$^C> true while the interpreter is compiling code, and not just when it's going to compile and quit. =head1 REFERENCES None.
