Oops, I forgot it. I always localize or lexicalize variables
proper to a subroutine
That's why I never noticed that $_ is not implicetely localized at the entry of a subroutine contrary to what I thought.
Sadly, localizing *_ or $_ doesn't play
well with reference shuffling of strings with positions.
sub lexer { (*_) = @_; print $1 if m/\G(A)/gc || m/\G(B)/gc ; }
my $a = "AB"; lexer \$a; ; lexer \$a;
This prints "A" then "B";
If I add a local *_ or a local $_,
at the entry of the lexer routine, that does not work anymore.
So much for a cool trick.

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).
