in reply to Strange compile error?
Others already told you how to do right...
... But you asked:
> What do I do wrong?
Point is, that # "normally" starts a comment, and you wrote
my $N= #Org; say "N = $N";
So what the compiler effectively sees is a multiline statement, semantically equal to
my $N= say "N = $N";
The declaration my $N at the beginning only takes effect after this statement, i.e. behind the semicolon.
Hence, the second $N is undeclared.
Hope the error messages are clearer now. :)
