Re: perl popularity inside openbsd community? (Re: Suggestion: Replace Perl ...)

What if you want named parameters? (i.e. sending a hash as your
argument)

sub m4
{
my $self = shift;
my %args = @_;

# and then optionally
my ($arg1, $arg2, $arg3) = @args{qw/arg1 arg2 arg3/};

# or you can just use $args{arg1}, etc...
}
