Re^6: reset particular variable

Sorry marshall, but you're confusing explicit return with implicit return, ie. x1 doesn't still print 5

sub fo { 5 } # implicit_return
sub fox { 5; return } # explicit return
print fo;
print fox;
__END__
5

aside from the fact that your code doesn't work under -w and strict, your point is valid. I have amended my post above. Something is not right with my example. Well, stuff happens. Thanks for pointing this out!	[reply]
