Lexical $b is out of scope.
see
D:\temp>perl -MO=Deparse -e "my $b = 1 for 1 .. 10"
;
foreach $_ (1 .. 10) {
my $b = 1;
}
-e syntax OK
D:\temp>
So, your code is the same as
P:\test>perl -wl
my $a = 'a' x 10;
foreach $_ (0 .. 9)
my $b .= substr( $a, $_, 10-$_ ) . '-' x $_;
}
print $main::b;

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).
