An approach that hasn't been mentioned so far is to encapsulate a function and its data-to-be-closed-over in a module. A my variable in a module is absolutely private unless a getter/setter is explicitly defined for it. All code in the module is executed at the point in script compilation at which the module is use-ed. Initialization and checking of any complexity can be done. (In some other languages, this is known as Compile Time Function Evaluation - CTFE - and is a Big Deal.) An extremely simple module with no exportation or OO can be used.

CloseOver.pm:

package CloseOver; use strict; use warnings; my $FIXED_STRING = 'fixed_string'; # could be a constant my %persistent = (42 => { $FIXED_STRING => 123 }); sub something { my ($x, ) = @_; $persistent{$x}{$FIXED_STRING} = rand; } END { for my $k (keys %persistent) { print "$k: $persistent{$k}{$FIXED_STRING}\n"; } } 1;

Output:

Win8 Strawberry 5.8.9.5 (32) Thu 02/18/2021 21:14:15 C:\@Work\Perl\monks\QM >perl use strict; use warnings; use CloseOver; CloseOver::something($_) for 1 .. 3; ^Z 42: 123 1: 0.69775390625 3: 0.8636474609375 2: 0.555877685546875

Update: Minor edit for clarity.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
