OK, I may be focussing too closely here

if it encounters a subroutine or a block called BEGIN while parsing...

what happens to everything it has parsed upto the BEGIN block - does it forget about it till the begin has been completed. The doc says 'parsed' - does that mean entries in the symbol table etc have been made too ?

use brain;
