Application for a PAUSE ID
Please could I get a PAUSE ID, preferably PDCAWLEY, as I've got a couple of 'pragmatic' type modules to do reasonably strict interface polymorphism in Perl 5 that I'd like to share. Here's the modulelist lines: Name DSLI Description Info - - interface bdph Declares an interface, used with implements implements bdph Declares a module implements and interface. Essentially this is a perl 5 implementation of the functionality I proposed for Perl6 is RFC 265, though without the syntactic changes I proposed. It implements the 'strict' version of the proposed behaviour (You can get the runtime only checking by ignoring the 'implements' module and just doing C) It's currently horribly undocumented but hopefully there'll be some stuff there when the PAUSE ID comes through.

I like C, it works for me. -- Piers

Okay, I've changed stuff to use ex::, any news on the PAUSE ID? -- Piers
