in reply to Perl 5.9.4 released
re state variables, do I read it correctly that we would no longer have to write:
{ my $stately; sub some_func { # use $stately here } }
to get a variable which maintains it's state? Neat. Can any-one give us a glimpse of the internals and let us know how that is done? My random guess: turn off garbage collection for state variables?
