And that is why I consider it to be a bug. There is no reason for conditional modifiers to not have their own scope. For instance, the conditional form of for still localizes $_, even though there is no scope for it to be localized in: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; $_ = "foo"; print "$_\n" for "bar"; print "$_\n"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
