If you're wondering how code like:
sub bar {
my $foo;
{
my $foo;
}
}
can possibly have only one scratchpad, that's easy--perl knows the two $foo slots are different, and makes sure it gets the right one when it goes looking. (When lexicals are accessed they're all accessed by slot number, not by name, so the actual name is pretty irrelevant at runtime)
The only place that this could get interesting is with string eval, but since perl also tracks the lines that a particular lexical is active for, it's not a problem.

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).
