NAME
lambda - a shortcut for sub {...}
SYNOPSIS
Instead of:
my $code = sub {...};Just:
my $code = λ{...};Note: If your perldoc (or terminal (or browser)) isn't properly rendering unicode, the above looks like an 'I' followed by a double arrow (or maybe just an 'X'.) It is a unicode lowercase lambda (0x3BB.)
utf8
This module has import() and unimport() methods which mimic utf8.pm. Thus, instead of saying 'use utf8; use lambda;', you can simply say 'use lambda;'.
The caveat to this is that 'no lambda;' also means 'no utf8;'. I blame $^H (suggestions welcome, and yes 5.10 might require this to change.)
VIM SHORTCUT
My .vimrc has:
imap <C-S-L> λ{}<ESC>:set encoding=utf8<CR>iIn insert mode (only), this types the lambda and matching braces, sets the encoding, then puts your cursor between the braces.
Methods
import
Puts λ in your symbol table, turns on utf8 parsing.
unimport
Removes λ from your symbol table, turns off utf8 parsing.
