Re^2: Avoiding Global Vars

Thanks all - and apols for the wrong terminology (i.e. global <> "my", just because "my" outside of a block is lexical to the whole file)

One point to clarify is that the reason it bugs me, apart from wanting vars to only live within the scope where they are needed, is that I might re-use the name $vrx later, with possible side-effects.

bv's suggestion (use a bare-block) seems the most economical and least confusing, but I will also bear in mind that I shouldn't sweat the details....

map{$a=1-$_/10;map{$d=$a;$e=$b=$_/20-2;map{($d,$e)=(2*$d*$e+$a,$e**2
-$d**2+$b);$c=$d**2+$e**2>4?$d=8:_}1..50;print$c}0..59;print$/}0..20

If you `use warnings`, you'll get a warning if you redefine a new `my $vrx` in the same scope as the first. If it's not in the same scope, then it'll be a different `$vrx`, so there should be little to no chance of unintended side-effects. Of course, the better way to deal with it would be to use a more meaningful/distinctive name so that it's unlikely that you'll have cause to re-use the name...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ah, but I might (stupidly) do something like: my $urx = 0; # no warning on mistyped $vrx print $vrx; # get's old $vrx As for more meaningful/distinctive, vrx, for reasons relating to the specific tech I'm working with, is very meaningful... Thanks again. `map{$a=1-$_/10;map{$d=$a;$e=$b=$_/20-2;map{($d,$e)=(2$d$e+$a,$e2 -$d2+$b);$c=$d2+$e2>4?$d=8:_}1..50;print$c}0..59;print$/}0..20` [download] Tom Melly, pm (at) cursingmaggot (stop) co (stop) uk	[reply] [d/l]

I find that if I want to use a bare block, it's either unnecessary or I should be using a new sub instead.	[reply]
