Just a quick question on the need of "my" http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/my.html
Was using an example from the beginning perl text in the example he gave he wasn't using strict but i have it on to all scripts by default. For this example. the first two assignments work okay, but then at $c if I do not declare my local then I get an error. $d also requires that it be assigned using my, though it is directly the same as $b, my assumption here is that $d required explicit assignment as it used the explicitly assigned variable $c (could be wrong). Why from $c was "my" required? NB I am using 5.14.1 #!/usr/bin/perl -w # vars3.pl --- Assignment of vars using strict # Author: sayth <sayth@sayth> # Created: 05 Sep 2011 # Version: 0.01 use warnings; use strict; $a = 6*9; print "six times 9 is ", $a, "\n"; $b = $a + 3; print "plus three is ", $b,"\n"; my $c = $b/3; print "Divided by 3 is ", $c, "\n"; my $d = $c + 1; print "plus one is ", $d, "\n"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
