in thread Syntax question about closures and Perl 'sort'

Interesting fact of the disturbing kind ;-)

The language designer or a programmer in that language would still call it a closure. That the implementation optimized it away would (normally) only interest the implementor of the language. That it can be revealed through an eval I would call an implementation bug. Ideally any optimization must not change the result of a programm execution.
