how about a closure where you want to use a var declared outside of the closure

Well, by definition, a closure does operate on variables outside itself... that's the whole point.

As for a closure that is based on a global variable (lexical or otherwise), I can only ask "Why would you want to do a thing like that?" If the variable is global, it sort of defeats the purpose of wrapping it up in a closure. (Otherwise you would just use local).

So yes, you could do so, but I don't think it qualifies as a Real World Example™ as per the OP. I think anything you could come up with could be wrapped up in a sub and use lexical mys, and I think it would be better that way.

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.
