There is no bug, everything is working as it should, warnings is doing its job

Well, first of all you made mistake, the line 6 is where the assignment is done. Second, if you separate the assignment from localizing, then no warning is produced. According to documentation, there should be no difference. Whether one writes

local(*FUNC) = sub {};
[download]

local(*FUNC);
*FUNC = sub {};
[download]

things should be the same. But they are not. First one produces warning, second one - not. That is why I said, that it might be considered a bug.

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.
