in thread Two simple code style advice questions

Your "funny" example does not work:
# perl -MData::Dumper -e 'my @tests = 1 .. 10; @{ \my %ntests }{ @test +s } = (0) x @tests; print Dumper \%ntests;' $VAR1 = {};
The problem is the my.

    Well, I'd say the problem is that @{ } is defined syntactically as containing a full-fledged block (and thus it imposes its own lexical scope).

    @$_{@tests} = (0)x@tests for \my %ntests;
