No, that's perfectly legal in perl5; it just generates a warning: use warnings; my $x = 1; my $f1 = sub { $x }; my $x = 2; my $f2 = sub { $x }; printf "f1=%d f2=%d x=%d\n", $f1->(), $f2->(), $x; which gives $ perl588 /tmp/p "my" variable $x masks earlier declaration in same scope at /tmp/p line 6. f1=1 f2=2 x=2 -- But Pity stayed his hand.
