>I can do this using "our" in place of "my" - after perl 5.6.
hello,even you use 'my' instead of 'our',there is not any problem. where in some a subroutine, you use lexical var which is defined outside of this subroutine,you have made a closure.this var in subroutine is a private copy of lexical var,while it seems like a global var.so you should be careful to handle this case.for more informantion,see 'perldoc -f closure' please. -- Jeff Pang NetEase AntiSpam Team http://corp.netease.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
