in reply to Each on anonymous hash is causing endless loop.

    Thanks, good explanation!

    I was expecting some kind of constant folding ...

    C:\>perl -M5.012 my $x = 5; while ( say {a=>1,b=>2} ) { die "abort" unless --$x } __END__ HASH(0xf5b3d0) HASH(0xf5b508) HASH(0xf5b3d0) HASH(0xf5b508) HASH(0xf5b3d0) abort at - line 2. C:\>
