I don't think your Python example does what you think it does. In Python, to get an anonymous function, you need to use lambda, at least in the Python versions I know (up to 2.4). All you're doing is redefining the func function three times over, and in your call, you get the last declared func instance. If you do it the following way, I expect Python to behave just like Perl, except that I can't test it:
flist = []
for i in xrange(3):
flist.append(lambda x,_i=i: x * _i)
for f in flist:
print f(2)
Note that lambda constructs also don't really close over the variables in their scope, which is why I set up the needed variables as default parameters.
Basically, I think the concepts you are searching for are Closures and Hygienic Macros, but as I haven't seen the code for the other languages, I can't tell whether you tried to use named functions as anonymous functions in the other languages as well.

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).
