#!/usr/bin/env perl #-*-Perl-*- use v5.16; my @a = qw<a b c>; my $b = [@a]; while (my ($i, $v) = each $b) { say "$i: $v"; } while (my ($i, $v) = each [@a]) { say "$i: $v"; }
Trying out the arrayref functionality introduced in 5.14. The first loop executes the expected 3 times, printing the expected values. The second loops infinitely, always giving 0 for $i and 'a' for $v. Hashrefs display the same behavior.
my $b = {map { $_ => $_ } qw<a b c>}; while (my ($i, $v) = each $b) { say "$i: $v"; } while (my ($i, $v) = each {map { $_ => $_ } qw<a b c>}) { say "$i: $v"; }
