For those interested in how Perl does dynamic scoping here is dynamic2.clj in perl5: use 5.014; use warnings; our ($x, $y) = (2, 2); sub sum_of_squares { my ($a, $b) = @_; ($a * $a) + ($b * $b); }

This is an idiom I use regularly (in Perl, Ruby, Io & Javascript) and come across it often in the Perl world where Moose roles are used. The only downside of this idiom is the extra runtime cost which maybe an issue for Rails?

Some languages make monkeypatching a lot less dangerous. For eg. in Perl you can use dynamic scoping to localise its effect: { no warnings 'redefine'; local *SomeModule::some_func = sub { say "MONKEYPATCHED!" }; # now e

Correct. To mimic it exactly is straightforward though: sub with_open_file { my ($filename, $code) = @_; open my $fh, '<', $filename or die $!; $code->($_) for <$fh>; close $fh; } with_open_

In Perl you can just use scope: { open my $fh, '<', "text.txt"; print scalar <$fh>; } # $fh goes out of scope so file handle is closed
