The first of the two examples in the grandparent of this post is the "incorrect" code. To cut it down to a minimum
for my $tab ( 1 .. 3 ) {
my @array = ( 0 .. $tab);
printf "Array ref: %s\n", \@array;
}
__END__
Array ref: ARRAY(0x826acf4)
Array ref: ARRAY(0x826acf4)
Array ref: ARRAY(0x826acf4)
As you can see the same address is being reused. The latest perl review has an article about closures (PDF) that mentions it in passing.
I don't see how the code is incorrect. In the first example the value of @array is discarded but I could quite legitimately do something like
for my $value ( @values ) {
my @array = frobinate($value);
foreach my $bit (@array) {
drill($bit);
}
}
and the memory location of @array is reused.

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).
