if behaves similar to for in this respect.
Yes good point. I always forget about that, too... sometimes you'd like to have the loop counter defined after the loop is over, but you have to make a special effort to do that. This won't work, for example:
my @list = qw( wuhn tew thuree foah DONE whateva you know);
for my $i (0..10) {
last if ($list[$i] eq 'DONE');
}
print "final index: $i\n";
Somewhat surprisingly then, this does not work:
print $t if (my $t = shift);
Well, I wouldn't say that that's exactly a surprise -- after all, it's a fairly odd thing to do, declaring it's a lexical after you use it... This doesn't work either:
$t = shift;
print $t;
my $t;

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).
