First off, I want to thank you for actually engaging in a conversation, rather than simply writing me off as whiney and pedantic. I posted about something that I wanted to discuss, not just whine about. :-)
That it doesn't go out of scope doesn't make it less of a closure, but its closureness doesn't get used.
Indeed, that's true. I suppose I shouldn't try to fight against the technical definition. Rather than saying it's not a closure, I should have said it's not very useful to talk about its closure-ness.
However, it is a closure and it's not wrong calling it one.
Ok, fair enough. I officially change my position on the matter. Again, thank you for responding. I hope our friend SpanishInquisition is not too upset about the matter to read what I've written here, so he won't think I'm a completely horrible person.

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).
