The "my $i" outside the loop does not declare a lexical variable that is used as the the loop variable in the way you think it does. Perl aliases the loop variable to each element in the for list as they are iterated over so the closure is not over $i, but over the aliased list elements. Consider:

use strict; use warnings; my @flist; my @array = 0 .. 3; for my $elt (@array) { push @flist, sub {return $elt;}; } print $_->(), "\n" for @flist; @array[0 .. 3] = 10 .. 13; print $_->(), "\n" for @flist;

Prints:

0 1 2 3 10 11 12 13

Perl reduces RSI - it saves typing

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
