Re: Help! My variables are jumping off a cliff!

Note also that the two declarations introduce two separate variables that are in scope in different parts of the block; i.e. the second declaration isn't a NOOP:

my $x = 1;
sub f1 { $x }
my $x = 2;
sub f2 { $x }
print f1(), f2(), "\n"; # prints "12"
