in thread B::Xref buggy?

Yes, at the moment. I don't know why you link to that post because Concise doesn't give a number for the my, and Xref doesn't give a line number for the while.

    "would give" the same number if Xref was ever fixed.

    edit

    To be clear: line numbers in Perl will never be 100% exact, because statements can span several lines, and because sometimes multiple statements are optimized into a single one.

    But there is no reason (AFAIK) why a variable should be skipped from a report or the declaration being reported after the first use, like Xref is doing now.

      No, without change. When they both give a line number for an op, it matches. The reason is they get they info from exactly the same place.

        I've already proven that this is not happening now. And Dave already confirmed it.
