That's because the compiler can't decide whether a function called as "lambda {}" is being called with a sub or a hash, and decides the latter. Use explicit "lambda(sub {})" instead. See also an interesting related example at "perldoc perlref" near hashem/showem keywords.

That makes sense. Essentially, I took the example from your man page - it would help if your man page didn't have this usage and used the "sub" method instead. -Nigel

Ah, but the man page has "use IO::Lambda" instead of "require" where it shows the package syntax, and this problem is only manifested with "require". But generally yes, I agree.
