I get it now, I think. I'm not sure why you put "my $i = 5" in there,
since that's unrelated to the $i of the closure.
And I would have initialized the inner $i as follows:
BEGIN {
my $i = 20;
sub iter { return ++$i }
}
print iter(); # 21
print iter(); # 22
Your example was more confusing than it needed to be.
