Thanks - I hadn't looked at the diagnostics output.

So really the problem is in the assumption that there is no side effect, wheras in fact there is. The side effect is that the variable is made present in a a new scope which prevents the object from being destroyed (and the destructor has side effects).

Hm, or does it. Since I'm not assigning it to a variable the refcount won't be being increased. But surely it can't be destroyed while it's still in scope - in a void context or not...

I'll test it out and report back.

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.
