sealed.pm implements dougm’s original patch to compile method lookups for typed lexicals:

perl.com/pub/2000/06/dougpatch…

v5.1.5 on CPAN resolves longstanding reentrancy issues.

Internally sealed always relied on an undocumented method in B::Generate to construct the replacement B::PADOP opcode, but internally it’s invoking newPADOP, which leaves the associated padname unaddressed.

This causes segfaults in Perl_pad_push reliably, when it indexes that padname element.

In v5.1.5, the padname gets created by an XS subroutine, which does the needful.

Is there a module that can facilitate writing something similar to DBI, where one uses a common API for many different tools, swapping one for another but keeping the rest of of the program intact ? The non OO way is that of a dispatch table, but I want to elevate my OO a bit, and allow registration of components without touching the main application.
