I have a question concerning Perl's closures.
The code below should, to me, completely work.
But when I call doesnt_work @r is not initilized. 8(
Which is surpising to me because perl knows that sub doesnt_work exists
so why doesn't it init @r when it is called?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
{ my @s=("This works\n");
sub works { shift @s}
}
#This works..
print &works;
# Error!!
# This gives an error of Use of uninitialized value in print at ....
print &doesnt_work;
{ my @r=("Should this work..\n");
sub doesnt_work{ pop @r; }
}

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).
