"Curlies" aren't required for this problem. This is not the "will not stay shared problem" (and more than "curlies" is required for that; the my statement has to have the potential to be run more than once -- at least, that was my understanding).

All that is required for this problem is for the scope in which the lexical was declared to be left before the function is called (I didn't previously realize that even this was required). This can happen if the lexical and sub are in a module, for example. The original node says "A package I have", so a separate file such as a module seems likely; therefore curlies likely don't matter.
