Re: Re^2: Non-destructive array processing

But what will simply alias the lexical @array with the dynamical @array. So I don't see what you've achieved by doing this.

One problem with this that you probably didn't foresee is that lexicals are resolved before dynamic variables. Example:

  my @foo = 1..4;
  local *foo = ['a'..'d'];
  print @foo; # 1234

The problem is solved through our() since that creates an aliased lexical:

  my @foo = 1..4;
  our @foo = 'a'..'d';
  print @foo; # abcd
