That aliasing command relies on typeglobs to work.
Therefore it will only work with global variables. (ie you must localize with local, not my.) I stay away from that except when it really doesn't make sense not to. :-) The mostly widely used form of that kind of aliasing in modern Perl is for exporting symbols using Exporter. FWIW one goal for Perl 6 is to kill typeglobs entirely. The functionality should be available, but by a different mechanism... In reply to Re (tilly) 5: NEWBIE Brain Teaser
