Quite possibly I do. Anyway, I've now got the book on order :-)

Okay, to humour me for a mo', what should the following 2 examples
output if Perl were doing the "right" thing?
sub pr { print $_[0] || 'undef', "\n" }
{ my $x = 'X'; sub f { $F = sub {pr $x} }}
f(); $F->();
{ my $y = 'Y'; sub g { pr $y; $G = sub {pr $y} }}
g(); $G->();
