Definitely a nice hack, robin++ ... but it leaves a question open. Consider:
local *foo:
*foo = [qw (a b c)];
{
local *foo = [qw(1 2 3)];
print "local \@{\*foo{ARRAY}} = qw(@{*foo{ARRAY}})\n";
print "local \@foo = qw(@foo)\n";
}
print "global \@foo = qw(@foo)\n";
__END__
local @{*foo{ARRAY}} = qw(1 2 3)
local @foo = qw(1 2 3)
global @foo = qw(a b c)
my *foo:
*foo = [qw (a b c)];
{
my *foo = [qw(1 2 3)];
print "my \@{\*foo{ARRAY}} = qw(@{*foo{ARRAY}})\n";
print "my \@foo = qw(@foo)\n";
}
print "global \@foo = qw(@foo)\n";
__END__
my @{*foo{ARRAY}} = qw(1 2 3)
my @foo = qw(a b c)
global @foo = qw(a b c)
Hmm. The lexical glob is created ok, but other than with local, glob corresponding variables aren't treated as aliases to the typeglob entries in the current scope.
Now, should that happen? I think, it should; but such lookup should also warn about "masking an earlier @foo in the same scope".
What do you think?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
