Perl foreach seems to have its own scope created for each loop and then the closure snaps the current scope. The following, code without the foreach code does 444, 
my $i;
$i = 0;
push(@flist, sub {$i * $_[0]});
$i = 1;
push(@flist, sub {$i * $_[0]});
$i = 2;
push(@flist, sub {$i * $_[0]});

Python must behave this way, no per loop scope. But it let me ask myself (and the monks in fact) why the following code does 024? 
my $i;
foreach $i (0 .. 2) {
  push(@flist, sub {$i * $_[0]});
}

Does not my define the scope and then putting it before the loop should not make it apply on the loop? Note: lisp can behave both ways, and maybe even more, one may not compare lisp with javascript:)
