Subject: WISHLIST - return data other than strings
It would be nice to do something like the following: sub foo { ... my $dbh = DBI->connect(...); return success data => $dbh; } I'd like to return something other than a string, but use a simpler calling style than return Return::Value->new( bool => 1, data => $dbh, );

With current (1.22) Return::Value, this is valid: sub foo { my $dbh = DBI->connect(...); return success "connected", data => $dbh; } if (my $dbh = foo) { ${$dbh}->do(...) } consult the docs on dereference overloading and the prop and data attributes.
