Re: Re: 'my' headache...why doesn't this work?

That's works....I guess I understand the FOR issue. Still would'a thunk that strict would have gagged on it.

strict is smart enough to detect variables that are not properly declared, but not necessarily to detect variables that are logically misused. In this case, declaring a 'my' variable inside a for loop is perfectly legal (in fact, I do it all the time without thinking much about it), e.g. `foreach my $foo (@ary) { . . . }` [download] But for a running summation, of course it's not what you want. So strict doesn't see a problem; although it's misused, the variable is properly declared.	[reply] [d/l]
