No, state works just fine with arrays and hashes.
#!/ActivePerl/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature (qw/state say/);
store_and_print_hash('a');
store_and_print_hash('b');
store_and_print_hash('c');
store_and_print_array('x');
store_and_print_array('y');
store_and_print_array('z');
sub store_and_print_hash {
state %hash;
my $key = shift;
$hash{$key} = 1;
say "Hash keys: (" , join(', ' , sort keys %hash), ")";
}
sub store_and_print_array {
state @array;
my $value = shift;
push @array, $value;
say "Array values: (" , join(', ' , @array), ")";
}
results in
Hash keys: (a)
Hash keys: (a, b)
Hash keys: (a, b, c)
Array values: (x)
Array values: (x, y)
Array values: (x, y, z)

Am I the only one who still cares about RT #67694?
