Perl is not C++. Perl is not Java. Perl is more like C,
and C allows this behavior:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a = 1;
{
int a = 5;
printf("inside a = %d\n", a);
}
printf("outside a = %d\n", a);
}
Personally, i think you might be wasting your time with
this. I am not being mean, but maybe you should have coded
this particular program in Java or C++. Use the right tool
for the right job, don't change the tool because you may
be using it for the wrong job. On another note, anytime i
find myself wasting hours hunting down a bug, once i find
it, i blame myself. ;)

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).
