in reply to Initialization of "local static" (style question)

In a modern Perl (like one released in 2007), I would use 'state' to get a static variable: 
sub f {
    state $myval = myfunc ();
    ...
    g(++$myval);
}

    I hadn't known about state, but since the code must be run on 5.8.8, this is not an option yet.
