in reply to Bad return value from a block with variable localization

As a temporary workaround until the bug is fixed, the following seems to 'cure' it and I can't see any other side effects:

sub bar { if (@_) { return my $x = do { my $dummy; 1; }; } return 0; }

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
