in reply to Re^4: closure clarity, please
in thread closure clarity, please

As JadeNB put it:

* I'm intentionally being a bit sloppy here: as ikegami mentions, closures close over variables, not values; but, as the warning that you quote mentions, the actual variable that is closed over will no longer be accessible at the end of the subroutine invocation, so that there is no further way to change its value.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
