in reply to Scope of subroutines with same name

I believe it is bad practice to have a subroutine inside a subroutine (for the reason you ran into). It makes you think that it is lexically scoped when it actually gets parsed at compile-time.

What problem do you have that you need to have two subroutines with the same name?

And you didn't even know bears could type.
