Re^2: A 'print' at one spot changes a value at another

I can't reproduce the "closure" warning; only the "uninitialized" one. I tried it on 5.8.3 and 5.8.6. Can you give more details (e.g. perl version, any changes to the code, etc.)? Thanks!

That warning only appears in bleedperl, ie 5.9.x update: To be precise, as of change #19637, "jumbo closure fix" Dave.	[reply]

Is this not a third reason? If so, perldiag should be fixed.	[reply]

The two fundamantal causes of the warning are that the variable doesn't yet exist, or that it exists but has gone out of scope. The OP's code is trying to access a variable that has gone out of scope - ie a file-scoped lexical that goes out of scope at the end of executing the require'd file Dave.	[reply]
