Re^5: Assigning to the CODE slot of a GLOB whose REF is held in a lexical?

If you find out, please let me know. This is very curious. :-)

Well, I tracked down my impecable source of the idiom.

But in my tests, my $globref = do{ local *GLOB; \*GLOB }; seems more reliable? If I get a chance later, I'll try my test code under 5.6.1 and see if some things changed between versions.

I'll try my test code under 5.6.1 and see if some things changed between versions. I get the same results from 5.005_03 as I do from 5.8.4. If nothing else, at least this behavior hasn't changed for a while...	[reply]
