The for(LIST) doesn't bind early either. However, $i is just an alias to a different value, so rather than $i itself, the closure remembers the alias. It's easily visible if we use an array rather than a literal list. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my @t = (1,2,3);
my @d;

for my $i (@t) {
        push @d, sub { print "$i\n" };
}

$_++ for @t;
&$_ for @d;

__END__

I hadn't thought about that, though in retrospect it's quite clear. Thanks for making me ponder this.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
