Hi,

I have a little problem with 'my' behaving weird... or at least, that's what I think it is.

sub showCat
{
  my ($cat) = @_ if @_;
  local (*DIR, *HTML);
  my (@piclist);
  my ($pic, $template, $__atom__, $__catname__);
  my ($i) = 0;


  [...]

  $__atom__ .= '</table>';
  $template =~ s/\$(\w+)/${$1}/g;
  print $template;

}

[download]

The template contains $__atom__, the variable is found, the left hand of the substition works fine, but the right hand thinks the variable is empty (while it's _not_). If I don't declare $__atom__ or use local, everything works fine. As this line is clearly within the scope of $__atom__, and the variable does exist (aswell before as after the substitution), this seems like a problem with 'my'...

Can someone confirm if this is a bug, or am I doing something secretly wrong here...


Thanks!
