Re: Binding operator RAM eater

Not related to your problem but I'm wondering why you do

foreach (@links) {
    my $link = $_;
...
[download]

when you could simply write

foreach my $link (@links) {
...
[download]

The $link scalar in the second snippet still only exists within the scope of the foreach.

Cheers,

It's not an issue with the OP's code, but in some cases you may wish to work with a copy instead of an alias (as you would get for the `foreach my $link (@links)` variant) so that you can edit the variable without altering the contents of the aliased array element.
