5.10. Which was released about 22 months ago. You shouldn't be claiming things are not allowed if all you do is check it against an old version of Perl.	[reply]

Honestly I had not expected that this would ever become valid, and I'm still puzzled how this can work, i.e. how a builtin function (like chop) can modify any localized variable by name... -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]

All what's happening is an implicite passing of $_. But passing $_ isn't any different from passing $str. And you do believe that `my $str = "..."; chop $str` modifies the lexical (I guess you meant lexical variable where you write localized variable) variable, don't you?	[reply] [d/l]
