Re^2: local & global function (closures)

> The two functions are defined in a block and therefore share the lexical

Additional note: this is a fine example for using Closures.

The two functions are "closing" over the lexical variable $test.

And this $test has a lexical (i.e. static) scope restricted to the block.

PS: it also demonstrates that closure don't need to be anonymous. There is a widespread misconception in some other languages that "closure" is a synonym for "anonymous function".
