Re: Why do I get a "used only once" warning here?

Is it that important that there be only one variable for the entire application? Why not just

sub f {
    our $OnceOnly{+__LINE__} ||= (log(...),1);
}
[download]

which would, ISTM, be largely equivalent (and somewhat simpler), but with no risk of warnings?

I was not aware that I can use 'our' this way inside a block, and to my surprise, no warning appears! Thanks for the suggestion! UPDATE: I did not look closely enough. Your solution would not work, because `our $v{...}=...` [download] is syntactically invalid. After all, you can only put the name of a variable after "our", not a hash element. -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]
