in thread Initialization of "local static" (style question)

use my in a block enclosing both

I had thought that my function would not be visible outside the block then, but of course, functions are always global. Nice idea!

I will remember it for use in a later project, though, because in my current one, the automatic documentation system requires that the documentation of a function appears immediately before the line starting with 'sub', which means that I would have to move the declaration of $myval in front of the function docs.

    One option would be to use closures.
    ## DOC: returns a function that does that and that.
sub ff {
  my $myval=myfunc();
  ...
  sub { g(++$myval) }
}

...

my $f = ff;

...

my $x = $f->();
