Dear Monks, I am currently writing a function, which uses a subfunction. It looks a bit like this: 
sub my_func{
  my ( $self, $ptr_array, $value ) = @_;
  return look_right() if ( $value == 0 );
  return look_left() if ( $value == @{ $ptr_array } );
  return ( look_right() && look_left() );

  sub look_right() {... [uses $value and $ptr_array] }
  sub look_left()  {... [uses $value and $ptr_array] }
}

To my understanding of localisation, all "my" variables shouldd be available within the encapsulated subs. Yet I get an error saying they will not stay shared. Why is that? what do I need to do?
What is this warning for? I understand I can disable it but what does it really want to tell me? I am just suspicious there is something that I dont expect happening which I cannot see.

Cheers,
