in reply to variable scope affects variables in crace shell escapes

This is a bug in Perl. It has recently been fixed (patch 18687, if you're interested :) ). It is currently working in bleadperl (the 'head' of the current development version) and will be fixed in 5.8.1. For more information, see this thread on perl5porters.

If you're critically dependent on this being fixed, you will have to roll your own Perl for now, I'm afraid.

    Cool! But could I have saved a silly bug report by some more careful searching? I tried perlbug at bugs6.perl.org, but nothing turned up, but didn't think of trying the p5p archives. I will for my next bug report, but maybe I'll try posting here first. Thank you very much!
