Re^4: How do I pretend a reference isn't a reference

If you change the map so:
     my @months = map{tie my $var, i18n::String2, $_; $var } qw(Januar
+y February);

That problem goes away also. (I made a similar error myself earlier:)

Actually, it doesn't :) What is stored in @months is not tie'd anonymous variables, but the result of FETCH'ing $var. In other words, it does the translation at compile time, rather than at runtime.
