Re^4: Dynamic names

Hi, I have another question about that do{} construct. Is there any reason to use a do construct and not:

bless \my $anon, $class;
[download]

or the even easier to type:

bless {}, $class;
[download]

The first `bless \my $anon, $class;` retains the name $anon for the rest of the code block - it is no longer anonymous. The second `bless {}, $class;` constructs an anonymous hash, which I believe uses more memory. I cannot claim I invented the use of the `do{ }` construct in this way, I stole it from TheDamian.
