Exactly. I guess my question is, why doesn't the use of $x inside the anonymous sub tell foo() that it needs to close over $x? Is this a bug in the perl interpreter?

And by the way, thanks for all the answers everyone. I have the feeling that there's really no satisfying way to solve this at this time :) The workarounds are helpful, though.

Yes, it's a bug in Perl 5.8. Dave Mitchell fixed it in bleadperl, so the code works correctly in Perl 5.9.3 and later (maybe 5.9.2).	[reply]
