Re^2: issues with eval (get a variable's value) by squale (Initiate) on Sep 12, 2007 at 14:38 UTC
Thanks for all your answers, but it seems i am missing something. if i write `my $t; sub show { print eval "\$$_" for @_; } sub init { $t = 'test'; show(qw( t )); } => nothing` [download] but if i write `my $t; sub show { print $t; print eval "\$$_" for @_; } sub init { $t = 'test'; show(qw( t )); } => testtest` [download] So it seems eval can not find $t in the right scope but if i use $t in a usual way before calling eval, it can find it...

my $t;
