Inspired by a bug I watched kragen track down today, here's a quiz: Without running the program below, describe the output you expect, and explain why.
See How to present spoilers :-) for instructions on how to obscure your response.
Updated to add a bit more challenge: If the comment is removed, does the order change? Why (or why not)?
package OnDestroy;
sub say {
my ($class, $msg) = @_;
bless { msg => $msg }, $class;
}
sub DESTROY {
my ($self) = @_;
print $self->{msg}, "\n";
}
package main;
{
my $one = OnDestroy->say("one");
}
{
my $two = OnDestroy->say("two");
sub closure {
my ($four) = @_;
my $three = OnDestroy->say("three");
sub { $two = $four }
}
}
my $four = closure(OnDestroy->say("four"));
$four->();
# undef $four;
print "five\n";
