Re^7: PadWalker's closed_over - but for our variables?

I attempt to stay as close to perlglossary as possible.

The term "lexical" is messed up tho.

https://perldoc.perl.org/perlglossary#global

In Perl, only certain special variables are truly global—most variables (and all subroutines) exist only in the current package.

The term "lexical" is messed up tho. No. Maybe imprecise since there two kinds of lexically-scoped variables, but not messed up. I attempt to stay as close to perlglossary as possible. Don't do that by by reinventing what global means (or basing yourself on a passage that does that). That would be messed up. `$_` and similar have been called superglobals. Seeking work!

> > The term "lexical" is messed up tho. > No. Maybe imprecise since there two kinds of lexically-scoped variables, but not messed up. perlglossary is explicit that our-vars are not "lexicals". https://perldoc.perl.org/perlglossary#lexical-variable `A variable subject to lexical scoping, declared by my. Often just called a “lexical”. (The our declaration declares a lexically scoped name for a global variable, which is not itself a lexical variable.)` Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
