( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Definitely a nice hack, robin++ ... but it leaves a question open. Consider:

local *foo:

*foo = [qw (a b c)]; { local *foo = [qw(1 2 3)]; print "local \@{\*foo{ARRAY}} = qw(@{*foo{ARRAY}})\n"; print "local \@foo = qw(@foo)\n"; } print "global \@foo = qw(@foo)\n"; __END__ local @{*foo{ARRAY}} = qw(1 2 3) local @foo = qw(1 2 3) global @foo = qw(a b c)

my *foo:

*foo = [qw (a b c)]; { my *foo = [qw(1 2 3)]; print "my \@{\*foo{ARRAY}} = qw(@{*foo{ARRAY}})\n"; print "my \@foo = qw(@foo)\n"; } print "global \@foo = qw(@foo)\n"; __END__ my @{*foo{ARRAY}} = qw(1 2 3) my @foo = qw(a b c) global @foo = qw(a b c)

Hmm. The lexical glob is created ok, but other than with local, glob corresponding variables aren't treated as aliases to the typeglob entries in the current scope.

Now, should that happen? I think, it should; but such lookup should also warn about "masking an earlier @foo in the same scope".

What do you think?

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
