Interesting! I didn't quite understand what you meant about "mentioning" the variable first time around. Just now, I replaced undef $w if (0); with $w; and other than a warning about Useless use of private variable in void context, it worked fine. Is there a best practice for how to "mention" variables in this kind of context?

For now, off to read about closures.

Edited to add after reading about closures: So basically, the reason I want to mention the variable $w within the callback subroutine is so that the variable becomes part of the lexical scope of the closure? I'm not sure if that's the correct terminology... But basically, unless the variable is somehow being used within the subroutine, it will be destroyed once all the callbacks and event handlers have been set up?
