in reply to subroutine inside subroutine

by adding a ';' after use strict. The error message is a bit misleading.

PS: Please use warnings as well. And you know that a subroutine inside another subroutine in perl is a closure? It might not always do what you expect from it (if you export a reference to it outside the enclosing subroutine).

Updated: Reworded the warning about closure

    That definition is too vague. There is no closure here- 

    sub outer {
    print "outer";
    sub inner { print "inner" }
}

    Just two package subs (in the same space).
