Re^3: Closure warning with Perl 5.14?

But shouldn't there be a warning in 5.12?

Perhaps this is a new warning for old problem added in 5.14 to help us.

I don't get a warning from this in 5.14.0: ...

No. There is no closure involved there.

Try:

use warnings;
use strict;

my $x = <>;
my $y = "X"   if $x =~ /X/;
sub x{ 
    print $y ? 'Okay' : 'bad';
}

print "$y\n";

Still no warning, `$y` is declared as it always was. (But you get a warning for an uninitialized value in a concatenation, potentially, etc.)	[reply] [d/l]

I couldn't test it as I don't have 5.14 yet. You'll have to play around to discover teh exact circumstances under which it occurs.
