Re^2: Paranormal leakage of previous value from conditionally set lexical variable

Thanks, so at least it is known and documented.

I don't like the fact that as opposed to your code, I don't get any warning, the code just silently fails, and that this behavior is in Perl since at least 5.8, and according to the diagnostic message it is a known bug that they meant to fix but didn't.

This won't help in your case, but fwiw, Perl::Critic catches this.	[reply]
