Re: HTML::LinkExtor weirdness (scoping closures nested named subs)

Off the top of my head :)

It should work the way you expect if you change to

my $callback = sub { ... };
HTML::LinkExtor->new($callback);

FWIW, you probably got some warnings about this (will not stay shared)

The error message Variable "%s" will not stay shared is described in perldiag. The description is brief but explains the behavior you experienced. You can also read about closure in perlref, perlsub and elsewhere.	[reply]

This is why you don't nest named subs, the closure becomes "static" `perl -E " sub f{ my %g; sub g{say \%g; } g(); say \%g; \%g } say f(),$/ for 1 .. 4;"` `perl -E ' sub f{ my %g; sub g{say \%g; } g(); say \%g; \%g } say f(),$/ for 1 .. 4; '` `HASH(0xabd9c4) HASH(0xabd9c4) HASH(0xabd9c4) HASH(0xabd9c4) HASH(0x3f9b6c) HASH(0x3f9b6c) HASH(0xabd9c4) HASH(0x3f9b8c) HASH(0x3f9b8c) HASH(0xabd9c4) HASH(0x3f9b6c) HASH(0x3f9b6c)` By making the nested subroutine a variable (also known as an anonymous sub), the closure is dynamic `$ perl -lE " sub f{ my %g; my $g = sub {say \%g; $g{1}++}; $g->(); say \%g; \%g } say f(),$/ for 1 .. 4;"` `HASH(0xabd9d4) HASH(0xabd9d4) HASH(0xabd9d4) HASH(0x3f9b1c) HASH(0x3f9b1c) HASH(0x3f9b1c) HASH(0x99b374) HASH(0x99b374) HASH(0x99b374) HASH(0x99b344) HASH(0x99b344) HASH(0x99b344)`	[reply]
