Except, with binding it doesn't work like that, you end up with an infinite

But this version *should* work correctly:

Hi,
"&kilobytes := &kilobyte;" will not work for you (try it), because you
have to declare the "variable" kilobytes - in the default strict mode.
But you can't say for ex. "my &kilobytes", if you want to export it.
So you say `our &kilobytes ::= &kilobyte` (or `:=`, you still haven't
said if a

Hi,
- in natural languages, synonims are very often - alias is a synonim
Perl is modeled on natural languages, but that doesn't mean it is one.
At its core, Perl is a limited, artificial language being explicitly
designed with certain goals. One of those goals is that it should be
as small a

Isn't it possible to add a Role to the relevant Class, which specifies
that is 'handles' the method name you want as an alias?
If it's possible, it would be fine for me in this particular case. Is it
possible?
Anyway, IMHO this alias fun

Larry,
You can always write a macro that does that.

That won't work on a method name anyway unless you do it in the
dispatch class.

You'll have to write your own macro if you want to do that.
As I understood, you wrote down, how I can workaround it with macros,
