Re: Local for lexicals

Have I missed something??

$ perl -wMstrict -e 'my $e = 77; warn $e; { my $e = 22; warn $e }; warn $e' gives, when run, :

77 at -e line 1.
22 at -e line 1.
77 at -e line 1.
[download]

As, I think, expected.

Update:

Corrected error - original code would never produce stated results coz of missing intialization.

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

The problem is that the inner `my $e` is a completely different variable to the outer one, so that functions closing over the outer one don't ‘see’ it. To illustrate: `perl -wMstrict -e 'my $e = 77; my $f = sub { warn $e }; $f->(); { my $ +e = 22; $f->() } $f->();'` [download] gives `77 at -e line 1 77 at -e line 1 77 at -e line 1` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
