Re^4: Mini-Tutorial: Working with Odd/Even Elements

The interesting thing to note is that I seem to get a magical localization of my variables.

that's the output I get

[A b]
[C d]
AC
Now A b C d

C d
[download]

"orig" and "value" are lost, so no "magical localization". but adding local
local @{$pkg}{qw(a b)} = \(@_[0,1]);
produces

[A b]
[C d]
AC
Now A b C d

orig value
[download]

Cheers Rolf

That's what I would have expected. Thanks for the data point. I was wondering whether there was some obscure documented reason it should behave as I was seeing. Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.	[reply]
