According to Felix S. Gallo:
@a = ($page =~ /(\m{link}perl.org)/i); # matches any link w/perl.org in it
I don't think so. Not with the metadata structure as general as the
one I used in my example, anyway. You could adjust the metadata on the
way in, of course.
And I would be very glad to see a system like you have been
describing as a module, maybe even a standard module.
As with Safe, I don't think a meta-data system could possibly work
without being bilaterally incestuous with the core.
Access to core innards is supposed to be a lot easier in Topaz than in
Perl 5. This would be a good test, if you're still enthusiastic when
Topaz is mature enough.
