Re: Referencing the locals

Hi. You'll get a better understanding of this by taking a look on Variables and Scoping tutorials, and I definitely recommend this article too.

P.S.: Later on, I noticed scoping rules are not the key point here. Yet the reading I mentioned helps.

return on_success() or die;

Note that this isn't an issue of scoping, and none of those links discuss symbolic references. `$ perl -le '$x=2; my $x=4; print ${x}, ${"x"}' 42` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

My bad. It's just that I saw the term local variables associated to lexical variables, and ended up focusing on that. I'm sorry. return on_success() or die;	[reply]

No worries, and thanks for editing your node! In the context of the question, the difference between lexical and package variables is relevant, which those tutorials do cover.	[reply]
