It is better to use perl_wantarray(something) or perl_wantarray(); something;. Any ideas or suggestions? It would also be cool if people could mess around with it a bit and give us some feedback. Is this possible (?): $x = new Perl("Test");
$y = $x->f();          // scalar context
$x->f();               // void context
$y = array( $x->f() ); // array context or maybe $y = perl_array( $x->f() );
Nope, because that would require changes in the language which we wouldn't want to do just for Perl. The following could maybe be made to work: $x->void->f(); $x->scalar->f() $x->array->f() Andi Andi
